An Early Father’s Day Present

In our stake, for some reason stake conference falls on Father’s Day every year. So this year in our ward we decided to celebrate Father’s Day a little early. Our primary president had this fantastic idea to let the kids make their dad a tie to wear on our early Father’s Day. Our primary secretary was nice enough to cut out ties from a variety of fun material. Then we let the kids choose which tie they wanted to give their dad and then they decorated them with a tacky lovely rhinestone “tie-tack”. The kids had a blast with it and made little cards to go along with them. Since both Dallin and Mandy are in primary, Nathan ended up with two ties and good naturedly wore them both. It was fun seeing him walk around church with a red, white and blue Snoopy tie and a pink heart tie.

Very cute! Our primary kids made paper ties and the dads had an ice cream social. They begged Mark to leave Nursery to go have some ice cream and he wouldn't. He tried to say he didn't want to leave me alone with 13 kids but the truth came out. He said "I don't want to socialize today." He's not quite the social butterfly I am. :)

Way cute! I thought about using the pinking shears to keep the raveling down but decided it would be far easier to use my rotary cutter. I didn't think that they would make a windsor knot because they were so thin, but Nathan's looks grand! Thanks for the idea.
