Tom, I'd challenge you to an arm wrestling match on the cuteness of granddaughters (in our case, great granddaughters -- 2 of triplets, age 3). Or...we can agree to buy each other a beer and call it a draw (the contest, not the beers). Of course we COULD call the beers a draw too, couldn't we?
I dunno, Carol. Twins are tough to beat, I'm sure. Still, I stand by my assessment. I am, after all, somewhat biased. I will grant you a draw, however, if there's beer involved. I propose one beer each per grandchild (or great-grandchild). Deal?

You do have a beautiful granddaughter. You are a lucky grandfather.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Linda -- And a merry Christmas to you and Ken! I am, indeed, fortunate that my granddaughters didn't get their looks from me!
Amen to that one, Tom!!!

Okay, Tom. Mine are nearly as cute as yours, and I will buy you a beer when next we meet.
Carol -- And I will buy you one, too. This has potential...
