DS was born on Father's Day last year so that was DH's first FD. ?And what better gift can he get than the birth of his son right?! ?:) ?Lol. ?I'm hoping to have some pix taken of me and DS by a friend of mine (and I'm going to take pix of her and her girls for her dh) and give him that. ?I already got cards and I plan on using DS's hand print as his "signature" on his card like DH did for me on Mother's Day. ?:)
Last year (when I was prego) I got DH a toolbox that he really wanted. This year I made a video montage of a bunch of pictures of DH and DD, just DD, and videos we have taken of DD. I downloaded different father/daughter songs and found a poem that I absolutely love to put on there as well. I am thinking about doing something else as well... something that DD can "help" with. Maybe a fingerpainting, maybe something with her foot or handprints. I'm not exactly sure yet!
we normally just do a card and maybe a small trinket for the holidays. but he's been wanting a big size gas grill for a while now so we found one at walmart for a great price and picked it up last week. this is his first father's day with ds2, who is biologically his, not that it really makes a difference though.
I'm going all out-- he really did it up for Mother's Day. ?I'm getting him a few business shirts and ties that he loves from me. ?I'm making him a photo album of daddy and DS pics from DS (doing this on my Mac). ?I'm taking him to a play he wants to see the night of Father's Day-- we're going with another couple and will go out for a nice dinner afterwards.
I'm doing a photography theme. I got him a new camera bag, tripod, and speedlite (all recs from nesties!). I'm ordering a picture travel mug and taking DD to a paint-your-own-pottery place for her to decorate a picture frame (both of those for him to have at work). I'm going to pack up a brunch and take him out to the beach so we can eat outside and he can play with his camera stuff.

I have a friend's husband that does really neat metal work- so I had him make a customized Red Wings sign for him to put on our wall.

I also got a nice tie (seems like a good, traditional Father's Day gift).
And got all 3 of us tickets to a Detroit Tigers game (when they visit the White Sox in Chicago).?
For Christmas I got DH the hand print mold and made it and he LOVED it.
