We had a very nice and mostly relaxing Father's Day. Savannah wanted to make breakfast for Daddy, but I knew that it would be impossible with 8 o'clock church. I decided to make some really easy Pilsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls instead. That certainly made Jon's morning. Here's the kids right after church posing for a Father's Day shot. 
Unfortunately, Spencer was not very cooperative at church and that made for a slightly tired and cranky Daddy. But I had Savannah secretly wrap some gifts for Dad. She then went and hid them behind the couch, but then she couldn't wait for him to open them. So she went and told him where they were. 
Jon was very happy to open 2 candy bars and a new ladle. The ladle made him laugh because he broke ours last week during an attempt to sword fight with it. 
Savannah also made a card for Daddy, with a picture of her inside. 
After the kids had naps we headed over to Jon's parent's house for dinner. We had a nice simple meal of cold cuts, fruit with dip, and lots of salads...pasta, potato, and pistacchio. There was also a manly edible arrange made by my sister-in-law. 
After dinner we surprised our Daddy with his real Father's Day gift...a new 42" LCD TV. 
Savannah had told him that we were keeping a surprise for him at Grandma's house, but he really was surprised with what the gift turned out to be. I think he was half expecting to open the box and there be something else inside. But he REALLY liked it, which didn't surprise me at all...it's what he's wanted for a long time. 
We ended the evening with some wonderful home-made cheesecake with strawberries. Yummy yummy! 
We also went and visited my Dad for a little bit. We had attempted to make an iron-on t-shirt for him with a picture of the kids, but the picture didn't come out as great as we hoped. He was still a good sport though and said that it just looked like he had already washed it a few times. When we made it home, Jon insisted on hanging the TV up Sunday night so that the kids wouldn't ruin it. As you can see, they put it to work right away! 
Babe, I love you...even with all of your silly quirks! I hope you had a great Father's Day.
