Father's Day 2010

I've always like Father's Day. For the past 4 years, Todd and I have thrown a family Father's Day party at our house. We didn't want to have to run back and forth between Mooresville and Mount Holly to make sure we spent time with both of our dads, so the solution was to have them come to our house. We always grill some yummy steaks, gift out gifts, and then enjoy each others company.

This year we added the fun of watching Aubrey and my nephew Dameon play with the water table and baby pool. They had a blast. It is so much fun watching them "play" together. Or, let me rephrase...Dameon played, Aubrey just giggled and splashed the water. They did really well together and I hope we can enjoy watching them play that nice as they get older.

Sadly, there was no surprise gift for Todd for Father's Day this year. For his birthday, I bought him tickets to the Atlanta Braves game for June 26th so for Father's Day, I am paying for us to stay at the Ritz-Carleton in Atlanta after the game. He got both gifts in May, so he's known about them for a while. We've been needing some time away from Aubrey to just be us again, so I thought it was the perfect combination. He was pretty excited about his gifts and I can't wait to enjoy them myself. Todd has been such an awesome daddy to Aubrey and she is one lucky little girl to be his daughter. I love watching the 2 of them together, especially when he makes her giggle or when she does something sweet for him, like gives him a kiss. It's just what I wanted for both of them to have and I am so happy to witness it.
