Three granddaughters,  Micaela Martin, Aubrey Martin and Rachel (McBeath) Ivison.  On Christmas eve day.  Breakfast at Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage.

Micaela and half sister Aubrey having a good time together.  Beautiful girls!

Look Grandma and Papa we got a new puppy for Christmas.  We are taking turns holding him. 

We had dinner with Ray, Nicole, her father and his wife and Frank and I on Christmas Day.  The kids were too excited to even eat.  Santa was very good to them this year. 
We left the next to the last day of year 2011, and drove the RV over to Oceanside and spent New Years Day with Diane and her family in Carlsbad.  Renee’, Peter, and family (from San Francisco) were there spending a week going to a California Mission for a project for Katherine (in the pink sweater) and just enjoying visiting with family and friends.  It was a fun day for all of us including Mollie the dog and Misdemeanor the cat.

Mollie wants to know what is going on and when do I get to go for a walk?

Meanwhile Misdemeanor, the cat just sits on the cat condo watching everything.
