Mr. Ferrero Rocher is the third of ten kids. Between the six kids that are married there are 34 grandchildren. Makes for some big family gatherings! Cousins have so much fun playing with one another. It seems everyone looks out for everyone else and there’s always somebody around to help hold the babies.
These pictures were taken earlier this year when Mr. FR’s parents came up for a visit. The men had been off looking at the tractors when it was time to come and eat. One of my sisters-in-law told me to get my camera quick if I wanted to get some cute pictures of Special Dark with his Grandpa W.
This is one of my favorites. Let’s zoom in to find out why.
I just love Special Dark’s short chubby fingers wrapped around Grandpa’s pinky.

How sweet! It must be wonderful to live so closely with family.

That really is a super picture of the chubby fingers. Even if you cropped all the rest out, the hands would still tell a story.

So precious! Your post made me think of how it was when I was younger, getting together with the extended family and all us cousins running off to have an adventure of some sorts. Such great times!

we dont even have half as many cousins as you but one of my kids favourite traditions is our family christmas dinner on a monday night about 2 weeks before christmas…
we invite both sets of grandparents and do a roast dinner for them. This means our children get their grandparents all to themselves for a night!!
We have done this for about 4 years now and we love it

And my dad thinks he’s doing well with 14 grandchildren. And you know, that’s not too bad at all considering he has only two children! 🙂
That little boy of yours is just so dang cute!!!! I adore him!

How cute is that last pic?
My family is really quite small have loved marrying into a much bigger family. It is wonderful.
Though somehow I still feel content to limit myself to 3 kids.
