Sunday was my husband Gerald's (or Barnes as he will be referred to from here because that is what I call him) very FIRST Father's Day. We did celebrate a little last year while the little one was still baking with a "Daddy-to-be" card but he wanted to save the experience of a true Daddy's Day until she was here to share it with!
We started the day off with breakfast in bed for Daddy. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the breakfast - it was so pretty! Oh well, I'll remember next time. ;)
First Father's Day Menu
Stuffed French Toast with Fresh Blackberry Syrup, Powdered sugar and blackberries on top
Cheddar Cheese Omelet
Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Coffee
YUM! He loved it and so did the little one! I gave in and let her have just a bit of the french toast, we are going to have a good (and messy) eater on our hands!
Yummy Double Chocolate Cake
During breakfast we gave Daddy his gifts: a bottle of cologne and homemade chocolate/chocolate cake from Mommy and a special surprise from Daddy's girl - a picture frame with my favorite images of little b and her Daddy... so far. It was such a special moment to see his face remembering each picture. I think I even saw a tear!!! The day was perfect and I hope he really enjoyed hanging out with his two girls! We ended the day with our little family dinner at our favorite place, Paloma Blanca. (Side Note: PB was actually the very first public place we took little b, other than the doctor, she was three days old!)
What a great first Father's Day for Barnes and his little b! I will remember this day and keep it in my heart always! There is truly nothing like seeing my wonderful husband with his baby girl!!! My heart was and is so full of LOVE. Happy First Father's Day to the most wonderful man on earth! I feel so lucky to call you my husband and little b is so very lucky to have a "Da-da" like you! I love you Barnes!
Priceless!
