Happy Father's Day!!!!

I LOVE Father's Day!!! I am absolutely surrounded by amazing examples of what it means to be a great dad, and it is awesome to have a day to recognize the dads of the world :) 

Happy Father's Day to my own amazing Dad.  Smart, Funny, Selfless, and an all-around fantastic Dad.

And a Happy  Father's Day to Cris' Dad, Denny! I could not have imagined marrying into a more amazing family.  Denny welcomed me as a Stickley with wide open arms, and has played such a huge part in our family (Juneau loves to tell the story how Mommy couldn't go to Vietnam, but Grandpa and Grandpa flew a loooong loooong way on an airplane to get her)

The girls actually "slept-in" this morning, and didn't make it over to our bed until about 7:15.  We made a family trip to Starbucks, where Nova gorged herself on her very own Apple Fritter, and Juneau managed to eat all the frosting (and none of the bread) on her Lemond Bread.  We bummed around the house, and then headed to Denver to hook up with some friends for an afternoon of swimming and fun.

I cannot BELIEVE I managed to go the entire day without getting a picture of Cris and his girls, but I somehow pulled it off.  So instead I will post the girls Father's Day card, which totally cracks me up.  I asked the girls several questions about their dad, and recorded their answers word for word.  Juneau's answers are first, and Nova's are second (in italics)
