Father's Day 2012

Well Father's Day was quite exhausting!  David is a great help to me so giving him the day off was quite a sacrifice--hehe.  In primary we did a spotlight on dads which left me quite exhausted afterward.  Luckily David had requested shredded beef tacos so the slow cooker did most of the work.  I made homemade salsa the day before so I just had to cut up all the fixin's and make some rice and beans.  He also requested an ice cream cake.  This was my first attempt making one and it turned out well enough that I would make it again.
 
David enjoyed his day like I hoped he would.  We gave him some cards, treats, the kids filled out a fact sheet about their dad and we bought him some new clothes.  He is the kind of man that was born to be a father, he is so amazing with the kids (and me), we're very blessed to have him!

 We played Headbandz, a family favorite

 Anna didn't want to be left out, she's really into saying "sheez" for the camera right now

 I just made some ganache and went crazy with it all over the cake...even wrote 'dad' freehand, can you tell??? 


We all enjoyed it

He is a great dad, so I can see why it would be hard to give him a break. :)
It looks like you made it a great day for him. I'm impressed with that cake too!
Cory said he was a good father on Father's Day once we got the kids to bed.

Life as we know it is full of laughter, fun, stress, love, faith and surprises. What more could we ask for?
