Father's Day

Well another successful father's day has come to an end.  We did a low-key day, with dinner made at home.  We took Brian's parents out to breakfast, did our weekly shopping, and then just hung out at home enjoying the first break in rain in a loooong time. 
Here's some pictures of our fun. Happy Father's Day to Brian, Guppy and Bub! 

We had to beg Addie to wear this outfit that she got for her birthday...for some reason she didn't want to, but look how adorable it is! She's wearing her key necklace that goes to "Wendy's Music Box" from Tinkerbell, which we got last night.
Kim came over for dinner for the dads and brought cake for dessert.  She wanted to have Addie help her ice the cake.  When Kim mentioned that Addie needed to put a cloth over her shirt to keep it clean, Addie sprang off the chair and said, "I know!"  She returned from the playroom in her chef hat and apron.  Couldn't get much prouder, right?

Ok, I know the next set of pictures will illicit reactions like, "You did what?!?" but it was so darn fun! Might just be our new Father's Day tradition...you know Mother's Day at Chanticleer, and face in the cake Father's Day...
It all started like this-- we were enjoying the cake for dessert and Benjamin kept sticking his fingers into the frosting and licking them.  I eventually said I was going to smoosh his face in the cake if he kept it up. Muddy grabbed the camera and.... Of course Addie had to get in on the fun too. Yes, we're nuts! It was fun and not as messy as it probably appears.

We actually had several re-smooshings, as sometimes the frosting didn't stick enough/there wasn't enough on their faces!
