Old school photo's?

Hiya, what do you all do with the old school photo's of your children? I have quite a collection gained from 3 children and photo's taken every year when they were at school. Mine are just sitting in the cupboard. I am thinking of putting several in one frame from each child but that would not work as sometimes 2 were at the same school and pic's taken together.
Prehaps an album would be best? but then that is put back in the cupboard.
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Spring begins on 21st March.

    I bought a large glass clip frame and made a montage of them all with wee printed off speech bubbles on each one to say what age/class they were in when pic taken.

    I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do with them. DS1 & DD's school photos are either:
    - some framed and hung up
    - some in an album
    - all are scanned into photo file to save

    It goes get to be a lot of photos - and I'm loathe to bin them, even the extras!

    I have kept 1 single & 1 class (and team if there is one) photo for both DS's, they are in a Jiffy bag in my memory box....

    However, now they are both over 21, I'm planning to "build" an album of photos for each of them for their next birthdays, by scanning all my old photos in (including school ones), sorting out the ones I want & ordering a Jessops printed album ;)

    Thats the trouble as my youngest is now 20. If I put them back on the walls in a frame the stream of teen friends would see. I think he would be a bit red of face to see them comment over when he was in infant school.
    I think they will have to remain in the cupboard for now.

    My friend does memory books for people as presents for wedding's, birthdays etc. She starts with the year they are born and has a page for every year since then. School photos are ideal especially since they are usually dated. On each page she puts a photo and tries to find something in the news or something that was invented. People love these - they are so thoughtful and very cheap to make!!
