Father's Day- Charles

Happy Father's Day, Charles!


For Father's Day, the kids helped set the table for Charles' favorite "heart attack" breakfast: Crescent rolls, breakfast sausage in cream cheese, with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, all in one casserole. This is one breakfast that Kaleb actually may have been looking forward to even more than Charles.


The kids got him up, and gave him their cards and gifts. This year they went as cliche' as you can possibly get. They chose to get him a couple shirts and ties. Normally I would say "boo" to that, but he actually needed them.


We went to church, the kids sang, "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home," and then Charles was a special guest in Primary. His tie became a Sing-O-Meter. If the kids sang well, Jaden and Kaleb got to cut off part of his tie. By the end, his tie was cut all the way up to his neck. Thank goodness he didn't have to use one of his new ones!

I'm not gonna lie, I would have been P.O.-ed. (I hate shopping for ties, btw. To someone as anal as me, and has zero fashion-sense... that is just way too obnoxiously stressful.)

Later that evening, we went to Mom and Dad's for dinner. Mom made Charles' choice for dinner (Turkey) and Dad's choice for dessert (Spice Cake.) It was all sooooo good.
