On day 16 we were so busy with the Christmas festivities that dad's special surprise just showed up quietly in the evening. Stephen had colored 3 tractor illustrations and they were hanging up for dad in the family room.What I didn't know is that one of the tractors he had colored was actually the D-8--one that dad had engineered while working at Caterpillar. That is the one that is pictured here. He didn't confirm this, but I'm guessing they didn't refer to it as the "Track-Type Tractor" at work.
Today we're having our big family party. All 4 of us girls are together (which won't be the case on the actual birthday). So we've begun the food preparation early this morning, since we'll be playing laser tag this afternoon.
