First Father's Day

Father's Day was extra fun this year as it happened to coincide with Ben's birthday! We happened to be in Hiawassee so we were able to celebrate alongside Ben's parents, too. After a breakfast of blueberry muffins and orange juice (two of the birthday boy's favorites) and a little homemade card/book thing that Max and I gave Ben, we all got ready for the day.

We went to church (where Max shouted, "Yeahhhh!" after the choir sang a hymn- haha) and then out to lunch with a big group of Ben and Peggy's friends. Of course, we forgot to take pictures (doh!), but Max enjoyed being admired by his "Hiawassee Grandma's and Grandpa's" and we ordered him his very own sweet potato off the menu.



Later, we enjoyed relaxing at the house and playing with Max. Ben showed him important guy stuff like bugs on the porch.


.... and making funny sounds with your mouth.



Max gave Ben some goodnight snuggles before he went to bed, then we enjoyed dinner and Ben's annual "puddin' pie" (graham cracker crust with chocolate pudding and Cool Whip filling") to round out his birthday celebration.



Not surprisingly, Ben is an amazing father, and Max and I were so excited to spend a day celebrating our favorite guy!
