Father's day celebrations

Dad's usually don't get as much credit as they should in most cases. So when I saw all these reminders for Father's day I knew I wanted it to be special for my husband since this was his first and he deserves it for all the effort that he's put into raising baby Dhruv.

Considering that I spend close to 12 hours @ work (The commute is a pain!) and can barely keep myself awake after I'm done with cooking dinner, feeding Dhruv and putting him to bed (this is not complaining! ask any mom ;)), I didn't really have time for any personalized gifts this year. So online shopping it was!

So the unsuspecting daddy (who usually has amnesia when it comes to remembering special occassions) got a coffee mug from Chumbak & whacky sticker from Quirko from baby Dhruv on Father's day :)

Cute & Vacky sticker

From my side I did my best to make his day special by cooking him a special lunch. The modest menu consisted of Vegetable Biriyani (there's a special recipe that he likes), Raita and  Caramel Pudding. There are no pics since I didn't get out the fancy cutlery and serving dishes because - 1. I'd end up having to do the dishes since they're too delicate to hand over to the maid (& I did want to spend more time with family than in the kitchen today) and 2. Baby Dhruv's latest pastime has been pulling at the tablecloth (unintenionally of course) which has resulted in a shattered pepper shaker and a bowl so why risk the dinner set ;)

We ended the day by taking Dhruv to the mall where they have a kids play area which he loves! He rode his favourite horse on the carousel, drove a few toy cars and was excited when we bought him 2 new picture books.

So daddy happy with the gifts and lunch, baby happier (weekends are always special to him since we're aound all day) and I'm happiest since daddy and baby are happy. All in all a fabulous Father's day :))
