Happy Father's Day!! We celebrated here at the Reeves' household yesterday...well, because that's how things operate around here!! I bought Troy a smoker and we were able to spend the day making the neighbors wonder if our backyard was on fire!!
Here is Troy gearing up to make dinner (at 1pm!)
Ansley and Sampson observing in the smoke-free zone inside!
(side note: for anyone out there who thinks Sampson is in any way a safety threat...this child can do whatever she pleases to him without so much as a second look as you can see in the picture!)
Potatoes go on after a few hours
Troy adding more chips to the fire
I took this picture b/c I believe we have baby blue birds in that house again so we thought it best to move the smoker into the yard instead of keeping it on the deck.
Finally, the meat after 4 1/2 hrs in the smoker...It tasted AMAZING!
The potatoes on the other hand...well, lets just say we popped a bag of frozen french fries in the oven and ate those instead!
We had a great day and then dinner with Troy's parents!
On this Father's Day I am just overly thankful for the incredible man Ansley gets to call 'Daddy'. The importance of a relationship between a little girl and her father has taken on a whole new meaning for me after actually having a daughter. I am so thankful that Ansley has so many positive male influences in her life, and I fully appreciate how important this will be as she matures into a well rounded young woman. We're so lucky to have an amazing family, support system, and most of all a God that loves us in bigger ways than we can even fathom or understand. I don't go a day without feeling how truly blessed we are!
