Sunday was just a lovely day. We had Hubby’s parents and brothers and sister in law round for a roast dinner. Nothing grand, just a nice roast dinner and get together for a good natter, as all too often time goes by without seeing people, or without all of us getting together. I love family occasions and we love cooking and preparing for it (though not so much the grand house clean that is needed in advance!).
Monkey loves spending time with all his family too, so he had lots of fun with his Aunt and Uncle.
And his Aunt and Granny
And his Granddad.
He’s a bit obsessed with books at the moment, which we do not have a problem with, and it was nice for someone else to be able to read the same stories to him over, and over again, rather than just us hehe 🙂
We had a yummy yummy roast, though Monkey decided to be a fidget pants and played musical chairs, taking it in turns to sit on everyone’s lap rather than on his chair! Daft apeth!
I decided that I wanted to try and get a shot of all of us together, as it’s something we hardly ever do. The last time was a year and a half ago! So we set the self timer up and crowded round to get a photo. Keeping Monkey still and getting everyone to have their eyes open at the same time was a bit of a challenge!!
This was the best shot we got, though Granddad’s eyes are closed. I changed the settings so we wouldn’t get a monkey blur – but then didn’t like the lighting! I’ve had a bit of a play to brighten it up, it’s not perfect, but at least we are all smiling, or in Monkey’s case, still!
Anyway, it’s a nice record of a lovely family day 🙂
Sounds like a perfect family day, and with a gorgeous photo, too! x
Thank you, it was a lovely day 🙂 xx
The picture of the foods making me hungry!! Looks like a lovely day 🙂 xx
haha thanks, it was lovely 🙂 xx
Looks like a really lovely family day and your little Monkey is obviously adored by all, and quite rightly. 🙂
Thank you, it was and he definitely is! We need to get him a sibling I think, to share some of that attention! 🙂 xx
That’s definitely a perfect ordinary moment – and the roast lunch is making me feel hungry – lucky it’s Sunday today!
Thank you, it was lovely and it’s nice to capture days like that! 🙂 xx
Sounds like an amazing time with family, there is nothing better than that. So lovely. Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures too! #ordinarymoments #magicmoments
It was really lovely, we are so very lucky to have both sides of the family close by 🙂 xx
Ahhh this is lovely!!! We have my parents coming in less than 2 weeks now (eeeeek so excited!) not looking forward to the big pre clean up as you mentioned it’s no fun, but the loveliness of family time more than makes up for it!!
Thank you! Aww wow I bet you will have such a lovely time! And yeah who cares about the clean up when you are enjoying having such a lovely time! xx 🙂
The sight of that food has made me really hungry for a roast dinner…… Family weekends are lovely aren’t they! I always try and get a group photo every time we are all together as I love looking at the ones we did when I was a kid and really want my baby to have the same memories to look at.
Ha ha better have one then 😉 It is really lovely to have a family day and it is great looking at photos – I love it and loved looking at our family albums as a kid, so want our little ones to be able to do the same 🙂 xx
Agree with all the other lovely comments – sounds like such a wonderful day and its a fantastic shot of you all 🙂
Thank you 🙂 xx
