How to: Make Your Father Feel Special

Happy Fathers Day everyone out there! This is a great time to show your #1 Big Daddy-o how much you love him(or any other time of the year). But, how can you make him feel special? Here are some ways that will surely make your dad blush, shout hurray!, do a little dance, and have a warm smile across his face.

• Give him a homemade card! I actually do this for my big papa every year. A heart felt message telling him how much you love, care, and appreciate him is definitely a good way to go! If you aren't an artsy type of person, you might want to consider stencils! Just remember he will love it, ugly or not, it's the thought that counts.
• Breakfast in bed. My dad is about 300 pounds... and no, he isn't a big fatty, haha. If your dad loves food as much as mine, then you will certainly be his favorite child!
• Give him an award! A little ribbon that says #1 Dad on it for him to prance proudly around the house in all day, will clearly make him feel like he really is number one.
• Give him a great big hug and kiss on the cheek. Come on, we all love hugs and this will turn your daddy into a big softie.
• Read him a damn poem. Just make it somehow personal or funny!
• Buy him a present. This could be at random! Maybe if he loves the Seattle Seahawks, you can buy him another T-Shirt, even though he might already have hundreds.
• Go on a daddy daughter date! Or if you're a dude, then a father and son outing or whatever you want to call it to make it sound more manly. Plan the whole thing, and possibly make it a surprise?
• Cancel your plans. Yes, you might love your friends or "love" your new boy toy, but family is forever. Tell your dad that you would rather stay home and just hang out with him for the night!
• Let him teach you something. Take into consideration, that he really may be older and wiser, and letting him teach you something, whether it be cooking, fixing up a motorcycle, or even to throw a spiral from your old football in the backyard, listen to him, do it, and enjoy it!

Don't procrastinate! And if you have missed the old Father's Day specialty, then don't worry! DO THIS AT A RANDOM TIME OF THE YEAR. Who said you only can to cherish your dad on Fathers Day? Get out there and have a little fun with it! If you have anymore ideas to add that are creative, then please let me know! I'm all for input!

Aww look at that sweet smile!
