Family Meal

Dad is back in town and we are all happy to have him here.  He decided to make a big meal after our big work outs.  I settled in with a little yummy drink. 

As always the food was yummy.  We may have or may not have sung happy birthday to Bagel.  Thanks for the great meal!

Happy Daddy's Day

Dad is a huge Cubs fan! I am sure if you have read any of these posts you would know that.  The kids wanted to give their dad the gift of themselves.  A gift of time spent together enjoying something dad loves.  They got all the required baseball watching food and drinks and prepared for a fun evening.  Sadly the game was not televised like they thought.  Apparently it was a blocked game in our market.  We heard that the Cubs lost the game but the kids came prepared to celebrate with blue chalk bombs and confetti bombs.  It was a mess but loads of fun!

I hope that your father's day was as 'blue' as ours.

Happy Father's Day Jason

Father's Day started with a blessing at Mass.

J wanted a quiet uneventful day.  Sugar and Possible surprised him with a gift - beautiful pieces of meat.

The party started after everything was prepared.  This man lives for fatherhood.  His kids adore him.

We went around the table and all offered some "thank you"s to J.  Bear made us all try as he pointed out how rare it is to have a dad that is so involved and that really cares about the details of his children's lives.

The food was so good.  The older ones sat around the fire pit with a few cigars to discuss their dad.

In moving onto deserts we decided to also get cakes to sing happy birthday to Bagel, Adorable and Beautiful.  It is hard to get everyone together in this family. When we are all together (and not standing next to a pool watching someone swim) we need to make the most of it.

So we cheered Dad for fathers day, Bagel for her 13th birthday (June16) and the twins for their 5th birthday (May 19).  In the end it was lots of singing, celebrating and cake eating.
