My children are lucky to have such and amazing father! My favorite time of day is when the kids hear the garage door open. They get all giddy and run around looking for a place to hide. I love listening to them giggling in their hiding spots as they anticipate his return. It never gets old watching my husband come up the stairs and start his daily search for the kiddos. Most days, they can't contain their excitement! My heart melts when they jump out and scream "SURPRISE DADDY!" His response is equally as enthusiastic- every single time. I love how much they love him and I love how much he adores them.
This year, in preparation for Father's Day, I asked the kids to assist me in coming up with gift ideas for their daddy. Their list was hilarious! I couldn't just pick one item to give as a gift- so we made him a gift basket of "Things Daddy Loves!" My hubby loved the thought that went into both the list and the basket.
The finished product- a personalized gift basket for Daddy!
The list that the kids came up with. Just FYI- "Daddy Juice" is what they call Powerade.
The kids were so proud of their gift basket!
He got a kick out of reading their list!
I loved helping my kids give a gift that was truly from them!
After the kids gave their daddy the gift basket, we spent the day just relaxing and spending quality time with family. I hope that you had a wonderful Father's Day and shared it with loved ones!
It is Daddy's turn to be featured! Go link up!
Haha - I was wondering what daddy juice was. That is such a great idea and I just know how much he loved it :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! That is a great idea and how nice for your hubs to get something so thoughtful :-).
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. It is incredibly thoughtful, and looks like Dad really appreciated it!
ReplyDeleteI love that the list made it into the present as the card! And he got trains..... lol. I know a certain Peanut that will LOVE to help play with those!
ReplyDeleteThat's fun that they made the list! My son made a list of things about dad too, that the teacher helped them do right before school got out. Some of the answers were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteTheir little welcome home tradition is the CUTEST! I just love how excited they get about it!
ReplyDeleteLol, I love this! and Daddy Juice is awesome! I love how much thought was put into this!

ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful and sweet! We made a similar basket but it was movie themed. It had a bunch of his favorite candy, popcorn, Blu-rays, and tickets to the movies for date night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! I love how thoughtful and personalized it was!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best gifts a Dad could get of course! All especially chosen for him!
ReplyDeleteThat was such a great idea! I was lazy this year and just bought a US jersey for World Cup watching. I think I might do something like this for my husband's birthday, though!
ReplyDeleteAah look how cute your daughter is. My kids are all older so our Fathers Day was pretty laid back with a few gifts. But we had an awesome day making dad feel great.
ReplyDeleteI bet her loved it! The list is so adorable, especially because they put a lot of thought into it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so very sweet and thoughtful. I love the look on your children's faces- they are so super excited to be presenting dad with their gift. Priceless!

What a thoughtful gift! Loved how it let him know just how much everyone cares and knows about him. Shows so much about the relationships in your family. I can't wait to try one for next year.
ReplyDeleteAww how sweet! That was a cute Daddy's Day basket!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are your kids? I hope you guys had a good father's day!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are adorable and I love the little game they play with their Daddy. My sons are grown but they use to have similar fun routines they did when their Dad came home. Now my dogs look forward to when my husband comes home from work, LOL.
