father's day

We were spending Father's Day with Audrey, Chris, James, Ryan and Alice this year.  Audrey had wonderful lunch plans to celebrate Nick, Chris and her dad.  Audrey's parents were joining us around noon.  Audrey and I went out early in the morning to pick up some things for breakfast and lunch at Whole Foods.  We bought way too much and there was an abundance of pastries, sausages, homefries and cookies to eat.  The boys had their pick first of course but there was enough to go around for everyone to try everything.  My favorites were the chocolate croissant and the breakfast sausages.  We had a very filling and satisfying breakfast.

Alice and Bennett spent the morning getting to know each other.  She liked to sit on Bennett while he struggled to grab and keep a hold of his toy.

Ryan loved running up to Bennett and giving him kisses.  He was very gentle and sweet.

Eventually we got the kids out of their pajamas and got ready to eat again.  Lunch was just as fabulous as breakfast.  Audrey made ribs, corn and a few different salads.  Everything was delicious and we had nice and full bellies.  I was seriously nervous about finding room for dinner since we have been eating all day.  It was gorgeous weather and we spent all of our time on the porch.  Bennett was a very good baby and behaved really well during lunch.  He played in his chair and let mommy and daddy eat.  I think he knew there was something special about today.

We kept it low key for dinner, had some leftovers, hung around the house and rested.  Everyone was already exhausted from a busy weekend so it was nice to relax.  I want to wish  Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband.  I couldn't do this without you.  I am thankful everyday for having you.   I love you mostest.
