That "papa" photo idea is so cute!
This year I want Matthew to help make something. Dh has gone fishing with Matthew a couple times but he needs a little small replacement tackle box - the one he has, has broken clasps and is rubberbanded to keep it closed.
So I got a new little tackletbox and some paint so I can write "I love you daddy" or "Matthew and daddy, fishing buddies" something like that.

And since there won't be room to put his handprint on there I was going to do a couple of Matthew's thumbprints and then add a tail on there to make them look like little green fish.
