Since this was Aaron's first official Father's Day since Cooper was born, I wanted to make it special. So, I tried to hand-make a few of his presents. First, I made a card for him. It looks like a man's dress shirt. Inside, the shirt was a handwritten note from mommy and Cooper's signature. Well, his footprint. I put a gift card to Footlocker in it too. Then, I stayed up the entire night making cupcakes. I made 18 with green sanding sugar, toothpicks with white flags and little "golf balls". I made 6 more with the green sugar and mounds of crushed graham crackers for the bunkers. In the end, Aaron had himself a nice, edible golf course! He said, "Wow! You make me look like I play well, Babe! All the golf balls are really close to the holes." I think he really enjoyed it. We went to Outback later that afternoon and had a nice meal. It was a good day for daddy!
