My wife took our 12 year old son and our 7 year old daughter to the local card shop for them to pick out cards for me for Father’s Day. They picked out cards of some of my favorite players. My son’s cards he picked are under his Father’s Day card he made for me Notre Dame themed. My daughter’s cards she picked out for me are under her Knicks themed card she made for me. The best gifts come from your children. ❤ I hope all the dads enjoy their Father’s Day!
