From the moment I woke up, to the moment I fell asleep, it was a day filled with love, laughs and good company and good cheer. Thanks, everyone, for making the day so special.

| This is what a woke up to.... |
 |
| followed by this... Greg made shrimp and grits topped with fresh asparagus and hollandaise sauce. Served with thick cut peppered bacon (my favorite) and fresh fruit. I was planning on making him breakfast for Father's Day, but he beat me to it. What a guy! |
 |
| Later in the afternoon, the Powells, Parikhs, and Levanways came over for a Father's Day Lunch. Everyone contributed a delicious dish to the luncheon including pork loin, filipino pansit palabok, indian aloo gobi, asian cucumber salad, blueberry cobbler, chocolate cake & fresh fruit. Nina had been in Los Angeles all week, and woke up at 4am that morning, so she could fly back to MS to celebrate with all of us. |
 |
| Michelle and Turtle baked this tasty chocolate cake. I love the way Turtle decorated it - colorful, festive and fun! My niece is one talented little artist. |
 |
| Roscoe and Turtle carefully stick candles in the cake. Good teamwork! |
 |
| Turtle (Special Events Coordinator) came fully prepared with a birthday banner and balloons. She made sure that it was a real party! |
 |
| "Pardon me. excuse me. There are presents to open..." |
 |
| After all the delicious food and cake, we all went outside and played in the backyard. |
 |
 |
| In honor of Father's Day, Simms and Jasper wore matching formal wear - Little "ties" that I sewed onto their onesies and shirts.  The granddads taking a siesta. Good way to wrap up the afternoon. Happy Father's Day! |
