We typically do the same thing every year - we go out for a pancake breakfast and then spend the day at the beach.
I always have LBB make something for him. This year I let him pick and he wants to do a dragon out of handprints, so we're going to make this:
The first Father's Day I made a tree out of LBB's handprints. The second year we put LBB's footprints in a pair of sandals for DH. Last year I had LBB paint a design with InkEffects fabric transfer paint and then ironed it on to a shirt (DH LOVED this and still wears it all the time)
I'm hoping we have a baby for Father's Day, but that's probably not smart to bet on... We have dinner with family, that we're currently going to but we'll see. My parents are going to be in town again this weekend so maybe breakfast Sunday morning? DH isn't too worried about it, but I want to make it a big deal for him.
DH won't technically be a dad yet....but he got me a mother's day present so I got him the first season of GOT on Blue Ray. We're also planning to watch a movie and maybe play a board game.
I ordered DH a cake from his fave childhood bakery and got him daddy presents (onesie, frame, paci) from LO. Both sets of parents are coming up and his grandparents. They're bringing lunch and helping us choose which newborn pics to order!!

I'm considering getting baby daddy a hard to find Lego set. He's so into Legos it's not even funny. The proof is in two 50 gallon storage bins full of them. Not only that, but just like a lil kid, his eyes light up when he gets a new set to put together.

My H went and bought a tablet the other day. I told him that was his father's day gift. That and our son.
Still looking for something small to get him though. We usually go out to dinner or something with my family the night before to avoid the crowds at restaurants.

Father's Day this year is also our first wedding anniversary so we decided to go smaller for both "holidays". For FD I got him a picture frame from etsy (where else?) that says "I loved her first, I held her first, a place in my heart will always be hers" and got him a DUnkin gift card "from" Charlotte so he could pick up coffe on the way to work after the nights she keeps him up;)
Unfortunately DH has to work- it will be his first day back since DD was born. Hoping it's not terribly just and that he will get home mid afternoon so we can grill with our families to celebrate:)
Hopefully we'll have an outside baby by then! A Father's Day baby would be perfect, but we're not making any plans either way; we don't want to leave town in case baby comes and we don't want to host anyone either, and we certainly won't be up to anything if I have the baby in the next couple of days!
I did get him a card and a little inside joke gift that I think he'll love and I'll pick him up breakfast in the morning.
DHs mom and Dad are staying with us this weekend. So on Sunday we will prob have a nice brunch. I'm actually heading out today with LO to get DH a golfsmith gift card. He's been dying to get new clubs and get properly fitted for like three years. So he's gonna have a really nice first Father's Day. I'll probably get his dad just a card and some good vodka. They always are drinking the crappy cheap like 40 proof stuff because of those weird ohio liquor laws. He will get a handle of absolut or something haha.
DH is throwing himself a cookout/ party for Father's Day. He did the same thing last year. The ILs will be here.i got him a few small presents. Daycare Also sends home homemade presents with DD.

Love all the ideas! We are going to a friends house for dinner since we don't have family here. I got a card from me and one from DD. he's a big craft beer fan so I ordered a pint glass that is etched with Dad EST 06-04-15. I think he'll love it.
@poppyc8 They're just more strict than in Michigan with hard liquor. You have to buy like real liquor from state regulated stores and you can't buy it on Sunday at all. So they also have this like weird, cheap version of liquor that's half the ABV that they sell everywhere but it's total shit. That's what DHs dad always has because it's convenient. In Michigan it's a free for all, pretty much.
Actually in Washington state it's a total free for all. I was visiting my sister in Seattle and the Denny's had wine! Lol

I got H a flag to put our on our porch. Since becoming a citizen, he's wanted one. Now that the contractors are done working outside, we can put it up. His family is with us, so we'll probably just have dinner here at home with them.

Nothing like a glass of wine w your Denny's pancakes n eggs.
Just finished my project for DH. It didn't turn out exactly as I hoped since I accidentally selected one of the wrong prints to order, but he'll still love it. Z also picked this out for Daddy (actually he's been asking for some for a while for his first Father's Day)

DH plays a small 9hole 3par golf course with his dad every year. This year I will be taking baby with us. I have been testing out baby in the wrap for the past few days so hopefully it all goes smoothly.
I found an idea on Pinterest that I am probably going to do tomorrow. Do y'all remember Shrinky Dink? You draw and color on it, bake it, and it comes out like a hard plastic? I'm going to trace baby girl's footprints onto some Shrinky Dink, color it and write something on it, and make it into a keychain for hubs.
I have no idea what to do/get my husband but I am making my mom a flan and buying her a plant since she loves them. (My mom is my mom and dad so I celebrate her every year)
