Father's Day was celebrated early in our house. We are all going to Bible Conference this weekend so we wouldn't have been able to have our traditional meal and celebration on Sunday afternoon.
The older kids (Markell & Brandie, Zack, Danny and Marcus) pitched in and bought Josh a brand new barbecue!!! They surprised him with it right before dinner.
He loves to grill and desperately needed a new one.
He LOVES it and is so happy.
We had such a fun time eating, laughing, and simply just hanging out together.
So glad Danny's family could join us!
I think Josh is absolutely the most amazing man. He bought each person a card and wrote a note in it (to all of his kids and me). He gave them to us before dinner simply thanking us, because he says without us he would not be a father. Everyone was so blessed! He even stuck a little gift/gift card in each card :)
And, he also took the time to write a tribute to honor Danny for graduating high school and presented it to him. Danny was surprised!
Markell was blessed as he celebrated his first Father's Day!
new golf shoes, socks & shirt for dad
The most amazing part of the night was watching and listening to each of the kids present a tribute to their dad. It was so powerful and moving. There was not a dry eye in the house. We started with the youngest...
Then it was so awesome to hear all of them cover Josh in prayer.
We stood in a circle and laid hands on him and prayed for him.
The night continued with ice cream, re telling of family stories and deep conversation around the kitchen table. It was a perfect night.
We love you Daddy! Happy Father's Day!
