Anniedeb; I like the idea of looking at photo of family. If we want our heritage passed on then we need to do the passing.
I also do jigsaw puzzles with my grands and lots of games too. Checkers, Chines checkers, Sequence and Monopoly are favorites. Not so very long ago, I pulled out a massive bag of dominoes and let them build with them. After a time of lining up dominoes in paths all around my dining room table. One grandson grabbed his i-Pad and began to shoot a video and the other pushed the first domino and the fun began. Kept them busy for quite a while.
Another thing I do is to create traditions. For me, the three local grands come and help me decorate the tree and we make pizza together for dinner. After three years, they are already talking about here we will put the tree this year! Have fun with them.
