After a fabulous weekend and a wonderful Father’s Day spent with family, I’ve saved little time for catching up on all of that other stuff that comes with Sunday night. Ya know, like packing lunches, getting clothes ready, all that jazz…
So since I’m typing this up on Sunday evening, I’m going to keep it short and sweet with just a few words to go along with our pics from Father’s Day.
Lucas gave mommy and daddy the gift of sleeping in until 8am. We already knew it was gonna be a great day from there.
Morning presents for daddy from Lucas.
Including this last minute gift idea I decided to do on Friday. Mmhmmm, it was…a task. We’ll leave it at that!
Cinnamon rolls and iced coffees for breakfast.
These cinnamon rolls are so. freakin’. good.
Afternoon family time and loungin’ on the back deck.
A whole pitcher of homemade sangria that I was the only one drinking…I’m not complaining, but I still have quite a bit leftover.
Burgers and dogs on the grill with mac and pasta salads.
And, my favorite, a request by Jay for a Heath Bar Brownie Trifle.
Wanna try it yourself? All I did was layer brownies, Cool Whip, chocolate pudding, cheesecake pudding, and Heath bits.
So easy. SO delicious.
More family time (it’s amazing how well one little babe can entertain a crowd, isn’t it?).
Lucas and papa.
Me and the best dad in the whole entire world.
Uncle Dan being goofy.
And, of course, the most amazing guy I could ever ask for as the father of our little Lucas.
I just love those two. Like, a whole lot.
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I’ll catch ya later this week!

Trifles are quickly becoming my favorite dessert. I mean, brownies. Really.
You have such a beautiful family. I’m glad you all enjoyed the day!

When there’s suddenly children in the equation you do kind of think “what on earth did we do to amuse ourselves before!?”…drank more probably!

I made my husband one of those “DAD” photo collage this year also! I want to take new pictures of my daughter every year to keep the collage current.
Looks like you had another lovely weekend!

I can’t imagine the overwhelming love you must feel looking at Jay with Lucas. The pictures of them together are so precious. And hey, the last minute gift idea got the point across, right? haha
I agree with you, those cinnamon rolls are amazing!
Rachel @ Blonde with a Chanse says
What a fun Father’s Day! I know what you mean about a baby capturing all of the attention ha! I have a 4.5 month old and she is the main attraction whenever she is in the room :)
Koryn @ High Heels & Healthy Alternatives says
Ha!!! Our little Ethan gave us a similar present for Father’s Day! He slept in for the first time Ever from 11pm to 6:15 AM! Even though that’s still on the early side, believe you me, hubby and I were ecstatic! Lol! :-) And awww the “DAD” pics with Lucas are too cute! A friend of mine did something similar – soo love that idea! Glad you all had a great Father’s Day!!

Ohhh you always manage to make the simplest dishes look so fanshyyy! :D
Tracey says
Do u pack ur salads on Sunday nite for the whole week? What is the dressing u always recommend? Love ur blog. Tx.
Courtney says
Thanks! Sometimes I’ll make a couple on Sundays, but not enough for a full week. I’ll just prep the bases with veggies then add meats, cheese, or anything else that will spoil quickly the night before. Some of my favorite dressings:
Ken’s light balsamic
Ken’s northern Italian
Kraft roasted red pepper
Bre & Ree says
