Father's Day 2009

Father's Day 2009 was a pretty good one.  Dexter and I let Dad sleep in while we cooked him a tasty breakfast:

Said breakfast was served in bed, where he also got all of his Father's Day presents.  He got a bacon press

and a shirt (in the cylindrical package)

and some framed photos for his desk at work:

As you can see, Dexter had a lot of fun helping him open the presents.  He even gave up a brief chorus of "Dadadadadada," which was awesome. (He's made the D sound before, but "bababa" and "gagaga" are his favorites.)

After that, we actually let Dennis eat the breakfast we had prepared, and he was free of Dexter-related obligations for the rest of the day (but allowed to play/have fun as much as he wanted).  Dennis opted to use most of the afternoon to cut the grass in the 106-degree heat index. (Dexter and I made him some Gatorade and brought it outside.)

Maybe not the world's most amazing Father's Day, but not too terrible, either. :)
