Wir wünschen Dir, daß Du dich in der Zeit mit unserer Familie richtig wohl fühlst!


Explanation:
Einen Satz wie dieser ist im deutschen eher ungewöhlich und daher nur schwer gefühlsgemäß wiederzugeben - es wäre aber wünschenswert, wir Deutschen würden solche Wünsche ebenso wie andere Nationen in unseren Sprachgebrauch übernehmen.
Letztlich ist eine Übersetzung reine Geschmacks und vorallem eine Frage von Gefühlsintensität.

Ich hoffe ich konnte Dir ein wenig weiterhelfen.
