Father’s Day Highlights

By Courtney 29 Comments

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!

IMG_7393

Cinnamon rolls and iced coffees for breakfast.

IMG_7396

These cinnamon rolls are so. freakin’. good.

IMG_7395

Afternoon family time and loungin’ on the back deck.

IMG_6761

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.

IMG_7403

Burgers and dogs on the grill with mac and pasta salads.

IMG_6768

And, my favorite, a request by Jay for a Heath Bar Brownie Trifle.

IMG_7399

Wanna try it yourself? All I did was layer brownies, Cool Whip, chocolate pudding, cheesecake pudding, and Heath bits.

IMG_7402

So easy. SO delicious.

More family time (it’s amazing how well one little babe can entertain a crowd, isn’t it?).

IMG_7405

Lucas and papa.

IMG_6770

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.

IMG_7406

I just love those two. Like, a whole lot. Smile

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I’ll catch ya later this week!

      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
