To celebrate Father's Day today, the boys made cards for Paul and Pop Pop. Oliver also made a sign for the kitchen. I didn't think ahead enough to have Nadia make cards before she left for Oklahoma. I ordered two games for my Dad, gave Pop Pop cashews and chocolate covered cherries, and gave Paul Juicy Fruit gum, cherry Twizzlers, and a big bag of Middleswarth sour cream and onion chips. Paul's dad met us at church at 10:45 and then came home with us and spent about 6 hours at our home. We called my dad on the way home from church to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We had leftover pizza for lunch, and I made pork chops, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, and homemade strawberry shortcake for dinner using strawberries that the boys and I had picked last week. Pop Pop played chess and Nintendo Switch games with the boys in the afternoon while Paul and I assembled a bookshelf that my Dad and Margie bought for Nadia's birthday. I felt badly to ask Paul to do that on Father's Day, but since he works six days a week Sunday is the day he has the most time to help us at home, and I thought it would be a great surprise for her when she comes home from Oklahoma. In four days we'll have a teenager! Last year we didn't see Pop Pop at Father's day because of COVID. It's so nice to be able to celebrate holidays with extended family again!
