Father's Day Weekend

We went to visit my dad and Chris over the weekend. Our first item of business was going to see Madagascar 3. It was pretty cute. Kelsey really liked it. Next up, we went to Sammy's for pizza. It is one of my family's favorite restaurants. The pizza did not disappoint! When we got back to my dad's, the girls played in the backyard while we enjoyed the gorgeous evening. On Saturday, Kelsey and Grandpa made pancakes for breakfast before we went to the park to play.

After all of that playing, we just had to go to the bakery and get doughnuts. I even got to indulge in my favorite paczkis!

 Later, we went to a "Christmas in June" with my dad's side. All 6 of my dad's siblings were together in what seems like a very long time. It was good to catch up with some of my relatives that we only see a few times a year.

To round out the day, our dear friends Paul and Mary came over later. My dad bought me a birthday cake and we celebrated my upcoming birthday. Kelsey loves playing with Mary and they colored, played the LeapPad, and looked at books. Kelsey also gave us a performance while singing and dancing to her Disney Princess sing along DVD. Lastly, Kelsey played Farkle with Grandpa and Grandma.

When Sunday arrived, we headed to Hofa Park to celebrate Father's Day at a church picnic. I grew up going to this picnic and it has a lot of meaning to me. We had the family style dinner and it was so good! Everything is made from scratch and absolutely delicious! The girls played cherry tree and the duck fishing game. Plus, there was live polka music. I was able to see my friend Amber and meet her new little man, Zander. I also got to visit with my aunt and uncle and cousins.

As for it being father's day, I was lucky enough to get to spend time with my amazing father. He is an incredible man who I look up to and admire. He is a terrific grandpa to our girls, and I love him dearly.

 To the father of my girls: Mattey, you are so special and one of a kind. Our girls are blessed to have you as their daddy. They absolutely adore you. Megan is a big time daddy's girl right now, and Kelsey always wants to be with her daddy, too. The way they light up around you is so sweet. We all love you very much and are thankful to have you in our lives. You are an incredible father and husband!
