Proverbs 17:6:
Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Is there anything more wonderful than gathering our GROWING family to celebrate the fathers that God has given to us?

Keeping the kids out of the "treats" that were in those boxes wasn't easy.

After the festivities, we watched a cute movie called "The Runner of Ravenshead", ate homemade cherry pie and ice cream, (thanks to Sarah) which was followed by some lively conversation.
(Some was more legible than others.)
We are so thankful for the wonderful fathers that the Lord has given to our family...
