Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don't think it was worth the price. I'm grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.

I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn't have to worry about work today.

My weekend was booked up celebrating for my dad on Saturday and my wife's on Sunday, so no time for me, but I requested a lunch with my wife and kid on Friday so we went out and it was really great. Didn't really need more than that, but I was pretty dead by the end of the weekend.
