JFF - How Did Father's Day Go for Ya'll?

I let my husband sleep in, until 10am.
We made cards and put together a beautiful collage of family photos for his office.
I made a fabulous breakfast...buttermilk, wholegrain, oatmeal blueberry pancakes with thick sliced bacon, and tea.
We took him to see the famous Cavalia horse show...
Then Korean BBQ for dinner..then I rubbed his back with his head in my lap...I think he had a nice day :)

Really nice... I asked my husband last week what he wanted to do and he told me "Nothing! Just donuts for breakfast and steaks for dinner!" We went to church in the morning and played outside for the rest of the day. We had a really nice dinner at home with a nice bottle of red wine. It was a perfect summer day, exactly what he wanted!

Ours was good too! My husband doesn't like gifts on Father's Day, so we always go the 'good food' route for him!

I made him scrambled eggs w/green onions, mushrooms and cheese and bacon for breakfast w/ good COFFEE!

For lunch we made a picnic and walked to the park with the kids and watched them play.

Then for dinner I made him boneless pork ribs (the kind you bake in the oven ALL day) beans, ranch bacon salad, corn on the cob and a orange & red bell peppers, tomato, cucumber salad w/rice vinegar.

We made a chocolate/chocolate cake w/ice cream for dessert!

After the park he watched golf on TV, then baseball. All in all it was a nice relaxing day!

Ours went well, thanks for asking. :) We kinda celebrated several days instead of just one. On Thursday, he did a 2 hour kayaking trip with our oldest son (4), and they kayaked with the dolphins! Then he took our youngest (too little to be in a kayak, he's only 18 months old) to the boat yard and they watched the giant forklifts pick up and carry boats back and forth, they did some shell hunting, some splashing in the water while I took the oldest back and we worked on his father's day gift and got cleaned up a little. We all met back up to have lunch together outside a nice restaurant and all 4 of us shared crab & shrimp quesadillas, crab cakes, fish tacos with extra guacamole, and a bowl of gumbo that we divided into 4 cups. Friday the whole family went to the beach and played in the sand and water, we put the boys on boogie boards and helped them with that. We learned we're too heavy to go far like the kids do on those boards. (*sigh) Saturday we did a final push to empty the house we were moving out of and worked hard on organizing our new home, and it looks great. Sunday, he slept late (for us---7:30am) and cooked a big breakfast (eggs, bacon, broiled tomatoes, potatoes, orange juice). My son gave his gift/card at breakfast. We just hung out and played a little, then went to church. After church and a light lunch, the boys took a nap and I instructed my husband to watch some cheeseball man movie that was on TV and lay on the couch to be lazy, take a nap if he wanted. While he was doing that, I put more laundry in and loaded up the truck with 3 loads of boxes and packing paper (we just finished up moving from a rental to the house we purchased) to the dump, swept out the old house's garage, hired the exneighbor boy to do the yard one last time, before I turn the keys in to the rental agency, etc. When I came home, Jer had watched the movie and laid on the couch, but he also superglued a few things (superglue king, I swear, especially with 2 little boys), folded both loads of laundry, etc. The oldest woke up and the two of them went to his coworker's house to hang out at the pool and chat while I rested, got cleaned up, got dinner ready. We had steak, potatoes, green beans, cheesecake (his favorite), and he had a beer (kinda rare for him these days). We worked together to put a wallpaper border in the baby's room, and played Tball in the backyard until time to put the kids to bed. Then we had nice grown up time to just chill. He asked for some updated family pictures for his desk, which I ordered online. A mellow day, but nice. And productive too! We turned in the keys to the rental house 10 days early. :D A good father's day weekend! :)

I had a blast. It was a wonderful two days. (We celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day on Saturday. On Sunday we go to church.)

My wife surprised me with a foot massage. The masusse used hot oil or hot lotion. My feet felt so good, we just went home and I put my feet up. They ended up feeling good all day. We watched romantic, feel good, happy ending movies all day. For dinner my wife took me out to a mystery dinner threatre where the play wasn't done on a stage, but in the midst of the audience. We got there early so we got wonderful seats. The actors came by us several times interacting with us. True to form, my wife figured out "who done it". Because of my Santa beard I was asked to pick a winner from all of the cards that figured it out. The food was well perpared and spiced very nicely.

Sunday we went to church and when the youth group (teenage girls) gave all the fathers gifts of small bags of chocolate chip cookies. They over estimated the number of bags they needed so we dads were given two. I got to share mine with the beautiful girl I married.

For dinner I cooked beef steaks and buffalo steaks on my grill. My wife made deviled eggs, stuffed mushrooms, salad and creamed new potatoes. We had boysenberry/blackberry cobbler. (From my garden)_

It was a wonderful two days.

I hope all of you had a wonderful time!

Ours was very nice!! Hubby had to work, but was home by 5. Both my boys took a 3 hour nap so I was able to clean the house and get dinner ready :) we had cedar plank salmon and corn on the cob ~ yummy!! Then we went for a nice 2 mile walk. Hubby loved his new bbq cover, the Dad Rocks project the boys made him and the new coffee cup my 7 y/o picked out for him! He even woke up early and gave it to him before he had to leave for work ~ it was so sweet and totally made hubby's day!!

Had a great day!! Which is surprising because normally holidays are lost with stress and what not.

We went to the Roller coaster park we have here. Then went to my mil's house to see step-papa. Then we went out for dinner with Fil and family. We were gonna have to wait like 90 minutes for dinner..Then we decided to smash together in a booth...so we only ended up waiting for like half an hour:) Closeness makes the heart grow faunder:)

I hate to be a debbie downer, but mine did not go well. He is working out of town for a month. I mailed him a card from each member of the family and a gift. one each day, so he would get mail every day last week. well, he surprised us and came home for 24 hours on Saturday. I made him the biggest steak dinner I know how. I had recorded all the Mavs games and parade since there is no tv where he's working. All he did was sit in silence and watch the games. He played with the kids a bit, but completely ignored me. Then he went to bed alone. The next morning, while I was trying to start some Fathers Day Lovin, and trying to work out the logistics of getting him back to work, he got irritable and defensive and stormed out, after making a vague threat that he was planning to move out at the end of this job. so.....i think that may be the worst Fathers Day of my life.

My Dad, who is recently divorced from my Mom, got into a fight with my mouthy little brother, who has wedged himself between the two parents.

My family is a bit dysfunctional at the moment so any gathering is a bit stressful lately. I hope it gets better for us...

Glad Father's Day went well for yours!

We had a ball! Church, lunch and a parade with my whole family! We made a nice dinner for my sweet husband and gave him his gift, then made the rounds to my dad and his.
My husband fell asleep on the couch at 9:30pm - we were all exhausted from a packed weekend. It was great!

It kinda turned into mother's day part 2 since my MIL decided to take all the girls, her mom - daughter - me - and the 5 grand daughters to get mani/pedis then to lunch while grandpa & my man were left with my 5yr old and the new puppy all afternoon! I promised my hunny a "do over"

I have asked a question tonight, but will gladly tell you how Father's Day went at our house. I have a son-in-law who enjoyed his first Father's Day at our house---as well as my Husband who enjoyed our three daughters and his gifts. I have one son-in-law who was invited to his daughters house last night. I shopped for food, items for the new baby, cleaned the house, made sure the up-stairs had new shades to darken the room, and did all I could do for the ones that were going to spend the night. One daughter is not married--one daughter never had any children, and our youngest had her first baby 2 months ago. I am a first-time Grandmother. All did go well on Father's Day except when my Husband changed his mind about going out to eat----this was all his idea. When our oldest daughter and her husband were told that my Husband changed his mind, and would rather eat at home, a horrible fight broke out, and some where along the way, I was blamed. My Husband told our daughter's it was his idea---our youngest, and her Husband were fine with the meal I was going to fix, but the middle daughter hung in there with the ugly statements our eldest made,and went out to eat. They later came back and gave their Dad his gifts.. Our middle daughter barely spoke to me, and could not wait to leave. The eldest stated that her Sister would probably not come back, etc. I am still wondering what I did? Wedid enjoy the new baby (our first Granddaughter), and that made us happy! The eldest got over her problem of her husband not eating sandwiches with us, and my Husband got to stay home to eat. I do try to please all that are coming in, but most of the time, it never works! I will learn!
