Family Father's Day

For Tom and I nothing is better than spending time as a family. This Father's Day we did just that. The weather was gorgeous and we spent the day playing outside and enjoying the children. Max was up at 6am Sunday and was not going back to sleep. I let Tom sleep in and spent some one on one time with Max. Because he is extremely loud, Noelle was soon up. We decorated cards and then headed out to pick up some breakfast. After a yummy breakfast Tom opened his gifts that the children picked out for him. Noelle, and Max, were apart of every gift decision. Noelle insisted on some "daddy perfume" and picked out a great scent. We also got him a new bathing suit to wear on the Alaskan cruise and a few other things. It brings me great joy to watch the excitement that forms on the children's faces when giving a gift they picked out.
The nice weather meant we got out the sprinkler and little pool for the children. They had such a ball and it was a fight to get them back inside.

Great pictures as always. I'm so glad the weather was nice and you could enjoy the day as a family. I am surprised however at the comment about picking up breakfast. No home cooked breakfast for Tom on Father's Day?

Because of Tom's low cholesterol diet fast food is a luxury so he prefers fast food on special occasions. I would have loved to cook him breakfast but that is not what he wanted.
