Father's Day 2011

The kids made Doug a huge cookie in a pan and decorated it for Father’s Day.  Somehow, before I walked into the kitchen, Liam made his way to the cookie before it was decorated.  So, you'll see it isn't a circle, quite... :-)


The Friday before Father’s Day, I picked them up early from school without Doug knowing.  I took them to have their pictures taken at Portrait Innovations.  They took the best pictures!  We were long overdue for pictures anyway, so we basically did a 5^th birthday picture for Ava, 3^rd birthday pictures for Liam and a nice pose for Father’s Day.  There were soo many good pictures… The photographer even said “You do realize how happy you should be with these pictures, considering their age, don’t you?  You should be SOOO happy!”  (She didn’t say it in a demeaning way, but honestly they turned out terrific).  I will be sure to create a separate post for those pictures, specifically.

While we were waiting for the pictures to print, we went over to Target to pick up a nice frame for Doug’s Father’s Day picture.  I was so afraid that Liam would let the cat out of the bag and not be able to keep the secret until Sunday.  Amazingly, he didn’t tell Doug a thing!  The kids were so excited to be able to give Doug something like that.  J Ava also gave him a very cool tie that she had colored, complete with yarn to attach around Doug's neck.  :-)


We love you Daddy (aka Doug)!


Peace, love and the best Daddy EVER,
Shelly, Doug, Ava and Liam
