Father's Day 2011
We had a fun day celebrating our Dad this year. Sawyer ran into our room bright and early and, as usual, he ran to Daddy's side of the bed and asked to make waffles. I got up and told him it was Father's Day and that I was making breakfast with him this morning he started to cry. Eventually I coaxed him down the stairs and, although I had planned on making breakfast burritos, we had to start off making waffles so Sawyer would be happy! So we had a big ole' breakfast of yummy breakfast burritos and waffles! After breakfast he opened his cards and presents. Mom and Dad sent him a #1 Dad tie that he wore proudly to church that afternoon. The kids made him beautiful cards. Sawyer drew a picture of his daddy and a waffle (with the help of me!) and we got him some nice barbecue utensils which he used that evening for his dinner.
After church I started making dinner. The kids wanted to help but I didn't have anything for them to do so I had them set the table and they took their job VERY seriously! It was adorable to listen to them talking back and forth and running in and out with things to put on the table. We were eating outside on our patio so I gave them the tablecloth and they laid it out all by themselves. They also got out the fabric napkins and napkin rings and set those up all by themselves. They were pretty proud of themselves!
After dinner we went into the backyard for a game of croquet. It was a fun day of celebrating our great Daddy! We love him so much!
