We look forward to Father's Day every year. Once we hit May and the day for mommies, the kids start a countdown until the awaited day. All year we try to show him our love whether it's racing to the door when he gets home to give him the first kiss, or drawing cards and pictures for him, or bringing up the garbage cans so he doesn't have to, or thanking him for all he does for us. But there's just something so exciting about setting aside a day all for Daddy.
Since Sundays are spent at church the majority of the day, we cooked a special meal with dessert yesterday. He got his presents, cards, and questionnaires today. I can't speak for him, but to me, the questionnaires are the best part. I love sitting down with our little ones to ask the same questions we ask every year (questionnaires for 2014, 2013, and 2012). It's funny to hear the responses from the little ones and sweet to see how their answers change as they grow older.
Even though he had a poor example growing up, I'm so thankful for the choices he's made and the daddy he is to our babies. And by reading their answers to questions like "what makes daddy happy" and "what does daddy really love," I know his children feel the same way.
