Being here in London for Father’s Day was a different experience. Yes, it is mentioned, but not truly celebrated. I was expecting a little more commercialization, no extra church meetings, children singing in Sacrament meeting, etc. Nothing. One of my British friends told me it is a relatively newer holiday here and isn’t pushed as much as Mother’s Day is, which has been around in the UK for a long time.
But . . . that didn’t stop us. We celebrated as if . . . it was the British Mother’s Day for Dad!
We started off with “THE Mystery Card” (an idea from my friend, Brooke, last year).
Totally stumped on how to open the card:
The ‘a-ha’ moment (I will admit he needed a little hint, but I think he enjoyed the challenge):
We picked up some fun things that Dad needed and a great family book for UK family adventures.
One mysterious trip to the garage revealed another fun gift . . one that Dad had a craving for – a grill!
We are so thankful for our dad and all he does for us. He is one of the hardest workers and best multi-taskers I know. He knows how to have fun and he knows how to bring a special feeling into our home. He is truly one of a kind and we’re so glad he’s ours!
