This Father’s Day, I planned a full weekend celebration. To start, we got together with some friends to do a joint Father’s Day event. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with friends. After all, it takes a village. So our Saturday was spent BBQing and relaxing at our friends’ beautiful, newly remodeled, rustic home. Noelle had taken an extra-long morning nap, so she was well-rested and we didn’t worry about skipping her afternoon nap.
As soon as she woke, we moseyed on over to our friends’ place. We brought scalloped potatoes, 6-layer dip, fresh fruit, and baked salmon. This was on top of the array of goodies waiting for us – thick slabs of juicy Ribeye, gourmet chicken and pork sausages, grilled squash and zucchinis, and roasted red and yellow peppers. I was foaming at the mouth.
We all have 2011 babies, with just a few months between them. One of us is pregnant with her 2nd, the other is done (with 4 kids ranging from 1 to 12 years), and she means it. Me? Well… we’ll see… Life’s just begun.
The children played. The dad’s ate. And I climbed a tree.
After we recovered from our food coma, we decided to strap up our kiddos and walk over to another friend’s place a mile down. They had just brought home a newborn. Another baby added to the fun.
Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful, sacrificial Daddies out there.
We appreciate you for all you are, and all that you do.
Sweet! Do the kids have the same brand of strollers? Looks like it, except Noelle’s is pink.
yup – it’s all maclaren strollers! but the one noelle’s sitting in is a borrowed one. we didn’t bring our stroller that day, so a neighbor lent us theirs.
Aww that’s such an awesome weekend! Amazing that you guys all have kids the same age!
So glad you guys had fun!! I love lukey’s matching pink pants!
