Our Father's Day Project

It started on Pinterest with a picture of a spatula. This is not that picture just for the record.
 It had a cute saying engraved on it,...
"Dad, You Are Flippin' Awesome!"

And so it begins....
A bag of pancake mix with the recipe (includes an egg-free variety for our children with no-egg diets)

Then there was the card with a glued-on clip art pic from Word
Here's Alexa's version of the inside of her card.
Hope every dad out there has a
"Flippin Awesome Fathers's Day!"
Check out the youtube video.
Dedicated to My Daddy!!
Tried to teach me the 2 Step with this song to no avail. :)
