Father’s Day surprise

Jeff does a lot for our family. We are very lucky to have him. So this Father’s Day I decided it would be fun to surprise him with something special:

The Regina pipe band was doing a fundraiser for the food bank. I made a donation to the food bank of a large enough amount to have them come to our house and give a private concert. I told him that there was a surprise that would be taking place at a particular time, but never in a million years would he have guessed that bagpipers were coming to play for him. Unfortunately Linden found it much too loud and cried the whole time.

I also got him a vegan cheesecake. Just from the frozen aisle at the grocery store. I didn’t expect it to be especially good, but it was actually surprisingly delicious. There has never been an easier time to be vegan.

Maren also gave several gifts. The first one was making funny faces. The second was a homemade wind chime that she created with help from her babysitter/nanny (more about that another time). The third was a series of three cards that she had made. We finished off the day with takeout Indian food. All in all I think we did a pretty good job. Happy Father’s Day!
