Father's Day



The kids were soooo excited for Father's Day. The plan was to make breakfast for Daddy and bring it to him while he was still in bed. Mackenzie and Dayton were up by 7am and then we woke up Alexa. Earlier in the week we had made cards that look like dress shirts with ties. We made the pancakes and then the kids flew up the stairs to "surprise" Nathan, who was dead asleep. He had the hardest time prying open his eyes as the kids are singing "Happy Father's Day." He needed some toothpicks to keep his eyes open. The kids piled into the bed and told him to read their card first. He read mine first, I don't think intentionally, and Alexa, Mackenzie and Dayton leaned into him so they could all read it. After Nathan read all the cards the kids I headed back down stairs to eat our pancakes. Mackenzie was sad for Daddy because he had to eat all by himself. Dayton can hardly wait to be a daddy so he can have breakfast in bed. I think Nathan had a good day. He is a great dad and the kids love him. We appreciate everything he does for us in so many ways.

Yummy candy bars were the favor given to the dads at church. Super cute labels...
