Grandpa’s Girls! Jenna Bush Hager’s Daughters Get a ‘Bedtime Visitor’ in George W. Bush – See the Cute Snaps

On Wednesday evening, George W. Bush paid a visit to the home of his daughter Jenna Bush Hager and her husband Henry Hager, giving some special attention to their girls Poppy Louise, 2, and Margaret “Milla” Laura, 4.

In the first of the adorable photos shared to Bush Hager’s Instagram Stories, the former president is cuddling both his granddaughters — dressed in matching doughnut-patterned pajamas — on an armchair.

“Bedtime visitor,” the Today show correspondent, 35, wrote across the top of the sweet snap.

“Book and a dance,” Bush Hager captioned the sweet moment.

The quality time Bush spent with Poppy and Mila is par for the course for the loving grandfather, whom former First Lady Laura Bush told PEOPLE in March is keen on “spoiling” the girls (who call him “El Jefe,” which means “The Boss”).

“I’m the first to admit it,” he agreed at the time. “You want to play a video game, I’m the guy.”

“I’m the guy,” Bush finished. “I’m probably undermining every lesson that Jenna and Henry are trying to teach little Mila but, you know, what the heck?”
