papa's visit

My daddy was able to come for a short visit right before Christmas. Even though it was short we sure did enjoy having him here, especially Cailyn, who is "Papa's girl".  She even tells us that papa is number 1 then comes daddy then comes mommy....mmmm...something is wrong with that....mommy should at least come before daddy :)  
  On Friday when we picked daddy up at the airport we went downtown to the Printing and Engraving. We had never been thru that so we all enjoyed taking the tour to see how our money is made. Even saw what a million dollars looked liked in $10 bills....that pile was huge!  After our tour we went to Fort Washington. Daddy had never been there so he enjoyed walking around the fort. We also took some family pictures there for our Christmas/New Year's card. 
 That night we allowed the children to open their presents from papa and their great grandpa. The boys got some spy watches (watches that they wear but are like walkie talkies), Madison got a crib and Cailyn got a baby doll. Thaddaeus got a ramp for his cars. As a family gift from my Papa, we bought a mini pingpong table. The kids love it and I like it because it is small and can fold up and fit behind couch when not in use :)  Thank you Papa and Daddy for our gifts! And daddy I am glad you were able to spend some time with us.
