Father's Day 2008

The girls and I had a great day with Jeff. He actually only had to work for part of the afternoon so we enjoyed some quality time together as a family. Jeff's father's day started out with him sleeping in, a rare and special gift all by itself. Once he woke up the girls were so excited to give him their presents. We went shopping earlier in the week for a few things and Lily made a craft at summer camp. They also helped with the entire wrapping process (what a project that was). Lily picked out some new shirts and a few of the Frog and Todd books to read with Daddy. He said they were his favorites as a child so it will be something special for them to share. Em decided to go with a more traditional gift. She chose the new John Adams novel by David McCullough, as she knows how much her Daddy enjoyed 1776.

We truly had a great morning just lounging around and playing with the girls. Lily and Emma loved all the special attention from Daddy. They have really missed him these last 2 months. In the afternoon we had a birthday party to attend. It was private party hosted at a facility with several bouncing houses and slides. The kids had a blast jumping and sliding with Daddy. Em especially loved the slide and eventually mastered it on her own. All in all, it was a great day with Jeff. Even though he had to sneak off to work during the party, we hopefully were able to show him how much he is loved and missed. Happy Father's Day to you Hon...you're the BEST Daddy to our little girls!
