Since we are going to be in Washington over Father's Day, and we really didn't want to pack Aaron's gifts all the way there and all the way back when he wasn't going to use them there, we decided to celebrate Father's Day early at our house.
We kept it pretty simple this year. I got Aaron a book that will teach him out to make chests of drawers. More specifically, the drawers part. :) He's been building a night stand for us for the last year or so, and hasn't gotten around to finishing it because he can't quite decided how to make the drawer in it. So I thought this would be a good way to encourage him. Plus, he likes working with wood, and someday when he's not so super busy, maybe he'll be able to use it even more.
Lincoln and Ivan gave Aaron a Wedgits starter set. Wedgits are a kind of plastic building blocks that you can do all sorts of crazy things with. I first saw these years ago when Aaron and I were dating and I went back to WA to meet his family. Aaron's mom has a set, for the grandkids, but Aaron spent hours playing with them while we were there, and plays with them every time we visit, and also likes to play with Aunt Karen's every time we go over there. So, I thought we needed a set...so Aaron and the boys can play together....or, so Aaron can play. ;)
I love you Aaron. You are a great Dad to our kids. Happy Father's Day!
