Father's Day

Elli can do many things all on her own, including making a few items to eat. She does very well at making waffles, so she made some for herself and daddy. She really could not wait to wake him up! So fun.
These made the place mats for Brent's breakfast. They say, "With these hands I show you I love you. Happy Father's Day. Enjoy breakfast." She was quite proud.
The week before Father's Day, Elli told me she knew just what to do for daddy. She wanted to make him breakfast in bed. She talked about it lots and was so excited when the day arrived that she woke up at 7:15 and whispered in my ear that it was time to make breakfast. Here she is waking him up to surprise him. (We brought a blanket so we all three could have a picnic style breakfast in bed together)
How many people can fit on a couch? Strangely, they were all sitting there being entertained by Gary's robot. Elli used to be terrified of it, in fact she had bad dreams after Heather and Gary showed it to her. But now she is brave enough to get it out, carry it to us, and then jump on the couch while it does its thing:) Sorry I didn't get the robot in the pic.
The dad's are getting ready to partake of a delicious dessert.
My dad whom I love and my little girl, whom I also love!
Elli cannot help but pose for a picture. We enjoyed our time at Heather's after lunch at Abuelo's, after church! Too bad it was rainy and we couldn't swim. But, Brent and dad enjoyed watching golf, the US Open. (Rory Sabotini won with the lowest score ever! And he was the youngest to win) We also enjoyed playing with the kids, talking, and eating:) Fun Father's Day. Blessed to have a life filled with a dad who trained me to love God and a husband who loves God and his girls.

I LOVE the Father's day story - so adorable that she woke up early and took him breakfast. And I love that she put 'enjoy breakfast' on his placemat - so cute!
