The first thing was he got to sleep in a little longer than normal, so instead of the awake before 6 he got to sleep in until just after 7.30 (BONUS). Because it was his special day he got to choose what he wanted for breakfast, so we had waffles with bacon and maple syrup which were really good, I picked up a waffle and pancake book which has been a little useful over the last couple of months for different ideas for the family! We also had some fresh orange juice. Next it was present opening and he loved all the little things he got from the kids, as per usual school have the children make cards and little gifts for their Dad's. He also enjoyed his new Carlton attire which he put on as soon as he opened it, I don't know why considering they lost in a big way to St Kilda Saturday night after leading for most of the game (yes I am a Saint's fan!)
After a lazy morning we attended church and then came home to a home cooked three course dinner. We had so much food that we ended up inviting the Missionaries over as well. Dinner consisted of home made garlic pizza as entree followed by a roast lamb with polenta and rosemary chips and roast vegetables, followed by a caramel baked cheese cake with caramel sauce. All the meal was inspired from the current Donna Hay magazine! And I must say that there is still plenty more in this months magazine I want to give a go. So after eating so much food and having to roll the missionaries down the drive as they were so full we packed the dishwasher and sat down to watch Ryan's favourite show 'Castle'. I am hoping that Ryan had a great Dad's day and we enjoyed showing just how much we appreciate all he does, it is nice to have one day of the year to focus on just that, however I believe that we should be doing it everyday to each member of our family!
Yes even tho it was Father's Day the kids managed to flog the freddo frogs!
A very excited Carlton package!
