Brianna was crawling around under the table with Ned's dog Bouncer while the rest of us were finishing the delicious Mexican Egg breakfast Ned had prepared.
Suddenly her head popped up, those little blonde curls bouncing. She looked at me and said "Grandma, what happened to your feet?" Confused, I asked what she meant. "Why do you have wrinkly toes?" she asked. My answer of "because I'm old" didn't seem to satisfy her. I don't think she has made the connection between age and sagging flesh yet.
(She should have been with me in the restroom of Target yesterday. Their hand dryer is one of thse high powered ones that push any loose flesh all over the place. It's like having one of those computer games where you can distort faces by sliding pieces of them up or down or sideways.)
Wrinkly toes and all it was fun spending the day with the Santa Barbara Sykeses (and the Sacramento ones too).
Brianna always has fun playing with Uncle Ned
She helped me sprinkle red and gold sugar on Daddy's birthday cupcakes (49er colors, you know!)
The cupcakes must have been good. Brianna dove right into hers.
She also loved Bouncer (though we aren't sure if Bouncer was as happy to be with her as she was to be with Bouncer!!)
Ned brought out some of the hats that my father used to bring out when our kids were little and they went to visit him...they are World War I or II era military headgear.
(You may not be able to tell that Bouncer is wearing a leather Amelia Earhart type aviator's hat.)
Before the party moved on over to the house of Tom's friend Lance, Bri and Ned spent some time drawing together.
