Father's Day 2017

We celebrated Father's Day with Steve beginning in the morning with pancakes, followed by the opening of gifts (the kids get SO excited about this, fighting over who gets to give him their gift first, etc) and then spent the rest of the day outside and at the lake.  I had prepped dinner in advance so that all I needed to do was throw it in the oven for a bit before we all dove in with hungry appetites.

And this is exactly how Steve prefers to spend his holiday -- with thoughtful gifts and no plans on the agenda.  Limited pictures, some fun in the sun and a good home-cooked meal.  We covered all of those things this year.

These girls are pretty smitten with their dad and jumped in right away for their photo.

The boys (as usual) were not too excited about a picture, but they compromised ...

After that, I put down my camera and just enjoyed seeing where the day took us!
