Father's Day 2009
A couple of weeks before Father's Day, I took you and Aiden (with Grandma's help) to The Painted Pig to make a platter for him. I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted but soon after arriving decided on a Razorback themed-platter that he can use for grilling. The store employees helped capture Aiden's foot prints and your hand print and then you helped me make the red & black dots on the outer perimeter of the platter. Before it was finished, both you and Aiden were getting restless so I quickly painted the black stripes and had the store finish it off with the razorback and "Go Hogs Go". I was super excited about this gift because I knew there was no way in a million years Daddy would ever be able to guess what it was and sure enough, I was right. When we gave him his gifts on Father's Day morning, he lifted the package and thought it was a picture--too funny! You and Aiden are truly blessed to have such a great person as your father! When you are older you will be able to recognize all of his good qualities and realize how lucky you are.
