Papa's retirement

This picture is of Papa reading "The Night Before Christmas" to the girls. It is a traditon in our house since I was little and brings back great memories when he now reads the story to my girls.

Today we tried to surprise Papa (Grandpa) at work with a Giant Eileen's cookie. We had trouble finding a time he was actually IN the office today. I knew it would be hard since it was his last day. We finally had to say to him "come back to work we have a surprise for you". All morning the girls had been saying Papa, cookie, Papa, cookie. I knew we could not leave the cookie there and not give the girls a piece. Papa was very surprised and very touched. It was all worth it. Tonight he had a get together at Zen's and had a great turnout. He worked with some very nice people who thought the world of him. He never seemed to really like his job but he said those people made it worth it. He also took us out to dinner. It was a great night. Uncle Chris babysat for the first time EVER!! Everything went well and he spent the night changing diapers ( for the baby dolls) and reading books. The girls were even saying his name by the end of the night. Good day and Great night. I am exhausted.
