I hope that everyone had a Happy Father's Day!! Ashlyn got Daddy some really cool gifts for his first Father's Day. The first thing she gave him was a 20 page photo book from Shutterfly. She gave that to him early because she just couldn't help herself. Kids these days.
Here are a few pages from the photo book:
We started our Father's Day with church. After church we headed to a Reading Phillies baseball game. Baby Girl was all decked out in her Phillies gear but she wasn't really feeling the game. She watched one inning and then we decided to go eat at the buffet I had purchased tickets for. We wound up sitting in the shade trying to keep Baby Girl somewhat content most of the time. It didn't work as well as we hoped it would and we left about half way through. It's ok. We will try again. Maybe a night game next time when it's cooler.
After the game, we visited my Dad so that I could give him his new grill and cook dinner for him and the rest of the family. I had to put the grill together first, which was a little bit of a pain, but it was Father's Day so I did it for him. I am the master of putting together furniture and such.
Once I got it all together, we hooked it up and started grilling. I made baked potatoes, Parmesan chicken, marinaded chicken and corn. It all turned out pretty well. We also walked to our local Rita's because it's literally 3 blocks away and got some ice cream and Italian ice.
I found this idea on Pinterest and we made Daddy this really awesome picture frame. We worked really hard to get some of the best pictures we possibly could for it so that it would be super special.
It wasn't the original idea but I just couldn't make the original idea work. The original idea was to take pictures of Baby Girl holding the letters. We couldn't come up with three solid pictures though. She just wasn't feeling the photo shoots. I even had a friend help by taking some pictures at one of the job sites my husband worked on. The setting was great, the background was great but it was a windy day and Baby Girl just scowled the while time!
I just wasn't able to commit to these pictures. I wanted them to be perfect and they just weren't what I wanted them to be. So my Mom and I wound up doing an extra candid photo shoot in front of her house and that's how I got the pictures I went with. I didn't have the letters with me so that's why they are overlayed.
I found this on Pinterest too. It's a photograph on wood. I thought it was the coolest idea because my husband is quite 'rustic' so I thought the wooden picture fit him better than a regular photo frame.

Daddy says he likes the photo book the best. That's good because that thing took me the longest!! I compiled pictures for months for that book!
The day didn't go perfectly as I wanted it to but it was still a good day. Next year my husband requested a sleep day for Father's Day so I'll have to make sure he gets that.
A little letter from Baby Girl to Daddy:
Dear Daddy,
I really hope you had a great first Father's Day. Next year I will be big enough to make my own gift for you and I can't wait! I love you soooo much!! You always make me smile and laugh! I know that you are working really hard to make sure I have everything I could ever possibly need and I love you lots for that. You are the best Daddy ever!
Love Ashlyn.
Happy Father's Day to all of the Daddys out there.
