Father's Day

今天是父亲节，可是爸爸外出了，但是我们还是庆祝了父亲节。安娜和姐姐在一个陶瓷店给爸爸做了个相框，然后我们又把爸爸的汽车洗干净。孩子们一起在院子里照了相，然后姐姐给爸爸做了个卡片。安娜也懂得是爸爸的节日，她给爸爸画了两张画。姐姐把这几个图片都给爸爸发了过去，希望他旅途中能看见。中午全家吃了自制比萨饼, 然后去看了三维电影“玩具总动员3”

Today is Father's Day, but daddy is out of town. We still celebrated father's day. Leah and Anna made a picture frame at ceramicafe and we gave daddy's car a car wash. I took a picture of the three kids and Leah made a card for daddy. Anna drew two pictures for daddy. Leah emailed these pictures to daddy and hope he can see them during his trip. We made pizza for lunch and then watched the newly released 3D movie "Toy Story 3" at an IMAX theater.
