Ok so I am behind… but Happy Belated to all you Dad types…

June 16

Yup every so often our anniversary falls on a VERY busy day… 2013 had Father’s Day AND our 12th Anniversary fall on the same Sunday.

Of course that started our day with Ken sleeping in… The kids had a special book they made for him. I came across the idea in one of the books they read for their unit (just wait until the entry with our completion and the resource entry). Every day for almost 2 weeks we talked about memories that we had about him and the fun they had with him. Each page is topped with an illustration and then the writing under about the event.

The twins worked with me and copied what I wrote out for them. Emanuel copied the title himself and then I wrote the bulk and Trinity dictated her story and title and I wrote. Echo traced her hand and gave us a scribble. Very well received.

Of course we had to take yearly photos! Ken also wanted some of me with the kids.

We also had to showcase the brand new hair cuts!

Sadly the anniversary present I ordered is not yet in but then again we aren’t celebrating until later! With Baba out with Joe and his family and Nana for a special dinner we had the house to ourselves…

and a trip to DQ for ice cream…

Then ended the night with a movie and popcorn. Not the healthiest evening of food. But I think everyone was more than content!

Gavin took this picture for us!
