Organizing Family Photos for Great-Grandparents<\/h2>\n

I can\u2019t even keep track of my 16 nieces and nephews\u2019 kids- what would I do if I had 40 grandchildren and 52, and counting,<\/em><\/strong> GREAT- grand children whose names I wanted to remember.  Well, I guess I\u2019d do what Elgie and Ruth Hale have done- a family photo wall.  <\/p>\n

Family Photo Wall<\/h2>\n

\"247\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most grandparents would like to keep in close contact with the grandchildren, remember birthdays and other holidays and attending special events in their grandchild\u2019s life.  When grandparents turn into GREAT- grandparents, the challenge of knowing the great-grands becomes a bit more challenging.<\/p>\n

The Hale\u2019s met this challenge by dedicating one wall in their home to their  grandchildren and great-grands whose photos are displayed in 4×6 frames on their special family wall.  They are listed from oldest to youngest with each name displayed at the bottom of the frame.<\/p>\n

Family members know what size of picture fits in the frames and can send updated school pictures or candid shots to be placed in their own special frame.<\/p>\n

Grandma\u2019s Brag Books<\/h2>\n

Of course, if you don\u2019t want to devote a whole wall to your family photos you could keep them in a three ring binder or smaller photo \u201cbrag\u201d book and refer back to it before family gatherings and special occasions.  A book such as this would be a wonderful gift for Great Grandma and a fun project for a grand daughter.<\/p>\n

Family Reunion Photos<\/h2>\n

Next time your family gets together for a family reunion or party take a family photo.  Take your cue from school class photos and label the photo with family member\u2019s names for easy reference.<\/p>\n

However you choose to do it- helping Great-Grandma and Grandpa stay in touch with their great grandchildren can help connect the child to their roots and enhances the grandparents\u2019 legacy.<\/p>\n

The only thing I would change about the Hales family photo wall would be to add the following quote- because at the Hale home this really is what LOVE looks like.<\/p>\n
