Ciao for now

Grandma and Grandpa have flown south for the winter (although they'll be back for the holidays). We and Great Aunt Val wished them a fond farewell at Zaza's, one of our favorite special-occasion eateries.
Ellie wasn't quite up for it, but by the end of the evening she had whipped cream on her nose, and was sharing the love.
Grandpa, always one to encourage a fondness for dessert -- and turn Ellie's frown upside down, was game.
At the other end of the table, Will was working hard to maintain a straight face behind his ever-present LEGO catalog. Happily, he failed.
