This year we celebrated Father's Day very low key. Eliza and I gave Gary his present, a Nook Glow, several days early--it was a big hit! On the actual day, we hung out and spent some time at the neighborhood park and pool (separate post to come). I think Gary would say he really enjoyed "his" day!
In keeping with our Mother's Day crafting, we made our dads (the grandpas) some Eliza-art. Eliza wasn't too happy with us, but she still cooperated and these turned out great!
On the left, is Gary's dad Ron's art. It says, "Since you can't go hunting on Father's Day, here's a big buck to hang on your wall!" Ron likes to hunt during season, and I had seen this footprint art used around Christmas time for reindeer--so why not make Pepa a buck-head for his wall?! Maybe we'll start a footprint tradition for Pepa?
On the right is my dad, Tom's art. It says, "Thank you for giving our family tree such strong roots!" We used Eliza's hand prints to make the leaves on this tree. I came up on with this idea on my own, but it's entirely possible I've seen it somewhere and filed it away subconsciously, but I thought it was a great idea! I was so pleased with how both turned out.
We hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day, too!
I was so pleased, too, with the "Eliza-art". Thanks for the artwork and the kind words. I love you.
