I celebrated my eighth Father’s Day as an actual dad this past weekend. Just like with the previous seven, it was a special day where my family went above and beyond to celebrate me.

Hanging with Beau and Sloan during Father’s Day 2024.

Although I am not a gift person (just ask my wife), I still appreciate the kindness and effort that my wife and kids put forth to give me something that is tangible. I wanted to share with you the heartfelt and unique presents they spoiled me with for Father’s Day 2024…

I usually say “a card is enough” when it comes to birthdays, Father’s Day, and Christmas. Of course they always make sure to get one, they just give a bunch of other stuff too 😂

Beau gave me a few gifts. You got the trophy that doubles as a cup for my cold beverage, an “I love my dad” sheet, and a paper weight photo display. With the sheet, I thought it was sweet that Beau values our daily walk to the end of the street to pick up our mail just as much as I do. I also loved the photo that accompanied the stone paper weight…My Dad ROCKS.

Beau spoiled me with a few different gifts.

Sloan made me a decoration craft that lists an adjective on each popsicle stick she feels describes me. It also came with a popsicle stick enclosed picture frame with a photo of her inside holding a sign that also contains nice words about me. Cut me some slack over here, I am trying not to let my ego get too out of control.

I can’t wait to hang this up.

Then you had my wife’s gift. Sidney always goes out of her way to get me something that I will enjoy and actually use. She nailed it with the gift bag that included work socks (most of my current ones have holes), mop towels (I will actually use them at the gym because I sweat a lot), pens (I am very picky with the writing utensils I use), and Twizzlers Bites (my favorite candy). I received the gifts on Sunday and it is now only Tuesday night but everything has already been used in some way!

Sid always goes all out when it comes to giving me gifts.

Big thanks to my family for making me the luckiest dad on earth. I hope all the other dads out there had a fabulous Father’s Day. Don’t Blink.
