CELEBRATE - Father's Day gift

 We had an fun Father's Day - celebrating in several state. For my Father we wanted to give him something he would really enjoy- and since his favorite way to relax is to spend his Friday on the lake, my siblings and I pitched in to rent a slip at the lake for the boat. I asked my sister to come up with a way to present the money. As you can see in the photo below, she did a fabulous job.


She folded the money to look like a boat and then created a beautiful card with a pull out to tell him what the money was for and who it was from. I love all the little details, like the orange flag, the wire waves, and the yellow rope/ski line. It reminds me of good times spent boating with my Dad.

At my other sister's house I helped her kids whip up a dinner of BBQ Ribs, Mac & Cheese, and Artichoke. My nephew saw a grocery ad with ribs and decided that's what he wanted to give his Dad. It was an adventure as I had never cooked ribs before, but the kids were really did help and were excited to present it to their parents.

A week earlier my niece needed a project so we found this cute idea at Our Best Bites. They had it for Mother's Day, but we just adjusted the colors and filled it with her Dad's favorite candy - Mike & Ike's.


Finally, Whipperberry had an adorable idea for a Father's Day Gift -soda. As a die-hard coke fan, my Dad would love this. Maybe next year.
