We have the best daddy! We love Father's Day because it is a great day for us to get to show him how much we love him. The girls woke up early and wanted to make daddy breakfast. Scott was on call Saturday night so the earliest he would get home would be 7:30 am and we were planning to go to 8:30 church so I knew that he would not have time to eat this breakfast but I thought it was sweet of them and so I got up and we made blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. We saved Scott's for him because he did not make it home in time to eat them-bummer.
After church we came home and the kids were very eager to give him the many handmade cards they had made in the art center on Saturday and the ones they had just made in Sunday school! The kids and I went shopping on Saturday to get daddy a few things. We got 3 things so they each had something to give him. Emma got daddy a tie, Claire got daddy a shirt and Sam got daddy some pants which are the ones he really wanted! Then we went to Maggie Moos to get daddy the special cake we had ordered.
Our daddy is a great horsey even on his day off!

For the cake we chose Acuity Anesthesiology colors for the tie!! It was chocolate and banana ice cream with Reese's cup mix-ins and chocolate cake! It was soooooo good!
Can you beat a tie made out of icing and ice cream??
My grandparents, sister and brother-in-law came up to celebrate with us. We enjoyed a "linner" (between lunch and dinner) around 2 pm. We had ribeye steaks, salad and baked potatoes. We were all stuffed after the cake!
Sometime after dinner, about the time the men were all about to fall asleep, my grandma suggests we take the girls shopping! She loves to shop and she also loves to plan ahead so it made perfect sense to her to go shopping for Claire's birthday in August! So all the girls plus Sam headed to the mall for a little fun! Sort of a strange thing to do on Father's Day, but it was 98 degrees and the mall sounded like a good way to get out and get some exercise after a big meal. We shopped for the kids first and then we ended up in the women's shoe section of Macy's. I quickly got to snap a pic of Sam trying on and walking around in some blue patent leather high heels! He was having a lot of fun!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
