Father's Day 2011

Last Thursday the girl's and I boarded a plane headed to Washington DC to surprise my Daddy, aka Grandaddy, for his birthday. His birthday fell on Father's Day this year so it was a double surprise. However, this meant David would be alone on Father's Day because he couldn't take a week off work at the last minute.

I know, I know, poor David alone on Father's Day. Don't worry too much, when he told guys at work that his wife and kids would be gone Father's Day weekend one coworker was jealous... As in "wait a minute, you got your wife and kids to leave you home alone on Father's Day?  That's awesome!" 

All joking aside, Maddy was worried about her Daddy not having a Father's Day party (as she called it) so last Wednesday we threw Daddy a surprise "Father's Day Dinner."  We picked up take out from David's favorite Mexican place and had all of his presents waiting for him when he came home from work. Every party has to have a theme and ours was "Ties" because Daddy wears a tie to work every day. Maddy and I made paper neck ties to wear at dinner and Maddy made her Daddy a very special neck tie card. It was the perfect Father's Day party!

And in case you are wondering...no we did not get David a tie for Father's Day. One of his gifts was this picture framed for his office.....

I think this would make a great advertisement for David's practice, but then again I may be biased. :-)
