This year we celebrated Father's Day with a continuation of the four special traditions we started last year.
1 - We began the day with a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel, Daddy's choice for this year.
2 - We made Daddy our 2nd Annual Coupon Book - this year it featured 12 months worth of ideas for fun (and mostly free!) things I want to do with Daddy!
3 - Mommy and I presented Daddy with a sweet new book for us to enjoy together. My pick for this year was I Love You, Daddy by Jillian Harker (again, like last year's pick, featuring bears and nature). Mommy also gave Daddy a special little book called Father to Daughter: Life Lessons on Raising a Girl by Harry H. Harrison Jr. (it made Mommy cry!).
4 - In spite of a CRAZY end of the year schedule at school, Mommy pulled off (at the last minute) a special Father's Day addition to my scrapbook. She actually whipped up a two-page spread highlighting my delight in playing with Daddy in my playhouse, and even added a second two page spread showcasing tons of fun at the playground last weekend!

I also made Daddy two one-of-a-kind cards, one featuring my coloring and writing, and one with a special recorded message from me! And Mommy and I decided to add one more now annual tradition - a gift of something MUSICAL for Daddy to enjoy. This year's gift was a second Hercules Guitar Stand to add to his collection (I gave him the first one for Christmas last year).
Below are some pics of the gift giving event...stay tuned for LOTS more Father's Day posting to come. We had a TON of fun and it may take Mommy a few days to post everything (especially since she realized today that she never even finished showing off all of our Mother's Day fun!).

Here I am, reading the coupon book to Daddy - this is the page that tells Daddy I want to go to Wegman's with him, ride in the car cart, and get a cookie!

And now on to a couple of video clips...

WOW! What a day! That was really awesome how much work you and mommy put into making your daddy's day so special. It puts other mommy's to shame. I know you had a great day together! Yay!
All in all, you and Mommy gave Daddy a very special Father's Day and the traditions you're building together will give you so many precious memories. And the three of you have a full summer ahead of you....enjoy! Love you lots - GramMarie
