First of all, aside from waking up very briefly a few times in the morning to put Camden's binky back in, Camden slept well through the night as he has kindly done for the last 2-3 months AND after waking up, he let me sleep a bit longer while he kept himself happy as can be babbling while Alene prepared breakfast. We had ham and eggs - Yum! I opened my gifts and put on the tie that Camden and Alene made for me. Those ties were the fun primary project Alene thought of - she had the kids color them and then we stapled rubber bands to the back and had the kids present them to their dads after singing the classic "daddy comes home" song. Here's the happy dad and happy Camden:
As a side note for those who don't know - which is an important detail behind my next Father's day joy - I am now the 2nd counselor in the bishopric of my ward. So, another big reason I could sleep in and be happy (sleeping in being 8am ish), was because they had us only do minimal meetings today in honor of the dad's in our ward. That meant I only had one half hour meeting at 9:15am (and then some stuff to take of during and a little bit after church). That part was great!
Then... a NAP!!!! Wahoo! that felt good! I love sleep! I love naps!
Then a visit to Alene's Parents to say "Hello," "Happy Father's Day," and "Camden's here to play with Grandma and Grandpa!" Then home and preparation for dinner as Camden took a - much shorter than should have been - nap. He woke up, we fed him and then began to scarf down (ok, ok, so only I was scarfing - hey, I was hungry and the food was incredible!) our dinner. We splurged. It was a definite splurge, made ok by the fact that we got it from Costco and with a coupon, but we had... RIBS! BABY BACK RIBS! So delicious. We also had veggies and cantelope (from Costco too)! Yumm Yumm!
At the end of dinner we got a skype call from my parents! Camden was a happy playful guy for that. Life is good. Being a dad is awesome!
Happy Father's day to everyone else out there who's a dad! And thanks to Alene and Camden for making this day possible for me! :-D

Camden is one of the happiest little babies I've seen! You guys must be great parents. Happy Father's Day! Glad it was a good one.
That tie idea is the cutest. It's especially cutest that all the primary kids did it, so all the dads in the ward had one.
I love what you did with the letters and the clothespins. So cute!
