The Surrey family were in Suffolk for the weekend - for a late Christmas get together.
All 5 grandchildren were together again for the day on Saturday - it was slightly manic! It's Youngest Grandson who had changed most since I last saw him. He's now 15 months walking well and understanding all sorts, his big brother - Eldest grandson is 7 in May and growing up quickly as they do. The three grandchildren in between these two I see more often but they still seem to shoot up another inch between times. It will probably be Easter before I see the Surrey boys again, what with school and their Mum working and starting a children's after school art and craft club plus running children's birthday art parties too - life is hectic for them.
I don't often share grandchildren photos on the blog as they grow up, so once a year is enough.
It took a lot of persuasion to get them all lined up for a photo, so I had to click quickly before they got grumpy without looking to see what was all around . (For some reason the girls had decided to get ready for bed 5 hours early!)

How lovely to have them all together - and see how they have grown!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely accumulation of children on your sofa. It's a grand picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely group! This picture's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a wonderful picture! What a great group! - Jenn
ReplyDeleteAh how lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed your family time and all the children managed to get together. They grow up so quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh what a happy bunch they are! They do grow up so fast. I haven't seen my grandaughters since the beginning of December. By the time I get down there (sometime in March), I expect that the baby will be doing all sorts of amazing things.
ReplyDeleteTime goes so fast, doesn't it, a yearly photo will show big differences. Wouldn't it be good to have one on the same day every year - I wonder how long you could keep that going.....they wouldn't all fit on the same sofa in time though!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely photo - so natural and un-posed, bless them. A very happy sofa-full. xx
ReplyDeleteJust think how much fun they will have looking at that in a year or so.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy photo.
Sue
I can see happiness in your photo. What a treat to have them all together.
ReplyDeleteA house full of laughter, how lovely, and hectic, but there is always plenty of time to relax once the house is just yours again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photograph. A sofa full of fun! X
ReplyDeleteA really lovely photo of them all. Cute kids!
ReplyDeleteA photograph to treasure of your lovely grandchildren, you must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteA lovely photograph for your album - they will love to look back at it in another twenty years.
ReplyDeleteI also have 5 grandkids - 2 baby boys born this year and 3 girls, 7 and under. They come twice a week and it's a lovely chaos the entire time :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, lovely memories for you all

What a lovely relaxed photo.
ReplyDeleteYes, youngsters do seem to like to get into their pyjamas early these days, they treat them more like loungewear don't they ... and I don't blame them one little bit.
I can hear the giggles how blessed you are!

What a cute bunch you have, Sue! Glad you had a chance to be together.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! They're growing so fast, Sue! I remember when your daughters were expecting the older two. Nice that you get to spend time with them. --Elise
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo of all the youngsters; so good to have them visit - and the peace and quiet when they've gone is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered how my DiL keeps pace with washing the constant changing of clothes; my grandchildren regularly go upstairs only to come down in different outfits. Along with school uniforms, football/rugby, hockey kit, gym kit, etc. it must mean their washing machine never stops!
Time seems to fly by, almost quicker than we like. Your grandchildren look very happy and healthy. Their smiles are beautiful. Lovely to spend time with them and see them change and grow. Knowing their likes, dislikes and interests is always great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo, expect the cousins love getting together. Lucky Nanny :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness...the little people really do grow like weeds don't they! That's up up up! x
ReplyDeleteYou have gorgeous grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I can imagine the fun these kids have when they are together. My grandchildren are all adults now. 18-26. I miss the little ones. Enjoy! They are adorable.
ReplyDeleteAdorable grandchildren again at your house. Sounds like a good time with family. Happy new year 🎉!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful batch of grandchildren you have!
