After finally having Christmas Part 2 last week, we had an extra get together this week, with all four grandchildren in one place for the morning. It was a very noisy morning, I had forgotten how badly calibrated the volume control is on four children together.
Sylvanian Families were the main hit of the day with everyone joining in the play, no matter what age or sex. It just shows that we should never try to stop boys playing with "girly" things nor girls playing with "boy" things. There is no reason why they cannot get great fun all together. They will even forgo the pleasures of the X Box for a while without complaint.
The two oldest girls really got down to some great imaginitve story telling to each other and to us. This is all very reminiscent of when their parents were small and use to make up little plays which we all had to watch and try not to giggle at.
Even Mum got involved in the games.
Rosie was getting a bit tired by now, and needed a good cuddle from Daddy before heading home to Derby.
A really great morning, with lots of smiles all round. Sadly, we do not get enough of this, and it will get more difficult as they all grow up and develop their hobbies further.
I hope you all had plenty of things to smile about this week. If you have photos, then why not share them with us and give us another smile. All you have to do is to nip across to Annie's at A Stitch in Time and link up.

Everyone is having so much fun ...poor Splodge ...all ours run for cover when all the 5 GS's are in the house.
I really love our family get together times so can well imagine the fun you all had. Thanks for sharing your smiles with us.

What wonderful photos of family fun...our family get togethers are very loud and boyish (only boys in my family). I have to apologise...my Mother's card has the wrong wording on it...I don't have a Mothering Sunday stamp unfortunately! Thanks so much for sharing. Caro (#8)
Lots of lovely smiles here Maggie. Don't children bring out the best in us all. How can one look at a happy child and not smile?
Thanks so much.
Hugs, Neet xx
ah some lovely smiles there and I remember playing with sylvanians when mine were little.
I was interested in your comments about mothering sunday (i have read your previous post) My dad always called it mothering sunday and made sure we did, i always give my mums flowers too, not a present ... it has to be flowers. I must remember to make sure my girls keep up the tradition, is it sad to see the old traditions change
