Dads Day.

A few days before Father's Day, I made these envelopes for the menfolk in my ward in an effort to help my dear friend Vernet, who is currently serving as the Relief Society President. SHE made all the brownies & blondies (much more time consuming than making the envelopes), and the youth delivered them to the doorsteps of all the men in the ward. I forgot to snap a picture (I made about 80 I think) before handing them over to Vernet, so I grabbed this off of FB, posted by a grateful recipient.

ON Father's Day I had the thought to make a pie.

Perhaps it was because our ward usually has a massive pie picnic following Church on Father's Day, and we missed it this year due to the pandemic. I had lots of lemons, so decided on a lemon meringue pie. Evie helped with the crust (yes, she actually did some of that crimping - I was impressed). 

Ta-da! It turned out so good.

I need to make more pies.

These fine men smoked some ribs.

Okay, we may have taken the easy way and purchased the pre-cooked ribs, but they smoked them to heat them, and they turned out great.

I had purchased gift baskets from a sister in our ward (The Sweet Roller). They were AMAZING.

They had a cinnamon roll, 2 pieces of fudge, a bag of caramel corn, a fudge-dipped apple, a Dad's root beer, and a chocolate bow-tie. She made ALL of it (except the root beer haha).

I gave Bill a few little gifts to celebrate the fact that he's the father of my beautiful children. I am not the greatest at gift giving, so he may or may not have loved all of his gifts, even if he says he did.

And here are some sweet sentiments from the girls:

Mauri called and chatted with us all.

We had home church in there somewhere.

It was a good day.
