Today's my Dad's birthday.
And since he lives in Florida and we're all up here in Maryland, we got together to send him a party pic...
I know he's so proud to have us all as his family...
Dad likes to read so I picked up a few books to send as a gift. And while I was editing our family portrait, I got the idea to whip out a set of bookmarks to go with his new reads...
I just cropped pictures 2"x6" and printed them out on thick cardstock.
A simple gift but one I know will make him smile when he uses them...
I'm making something special today. If all goes well, I'll share it soon.
Have a great weekend.

He'll love the bookmarks, I m sure! Not least, every bookworm is always short of them, but those beaming faces will bring a smile every time he picks up a book!
Can't do that with a Kindle...
Happy birthday to your Dad! Your family is beautiful and Finnegan is a doll!
What fun! May your dad have many more healthy happy years amidst his loving family. :-)
