Santa's Breakfast

Sophia apparently used up all her bravery with the mall Santa because she wasn't going near this guy's lap!
Leo was brave enough for both of them! :)

Grandma B was thrilled that Leo smiled at her!

Santa stopped by to give Grandma B Christmas hugs

Big cousin Molly was very interested in helping out

I told you I didn't want to take a picture with my brother. I don't care that we're both wearing penguin sweaters with plaid bottoms. I'm not smiling, let me make that clear.

Grandma B's nursing home sponsored a festive breakfast with the Big Man last weekend. The granddaughters had a fabulous time together, as usual! They colored, played with balloons, ate muffins and just generally celebrated the upcoming holiday. Grandma was proud to have them all there, as I think she was the "winner" with the most grandchildren and great-grandchildren in attendance. It did make me think, once again, that poor Leo will be subjected to these poor girls' torture and games in only a year or two. The other two boy grandchildren are 18 and 13
and have a well established pattern of avoiding the havoc that the 4 girls can create!
