If you're not sure whether to spoil your dad on his birthday this year, take a cue from Alex and Paige Drummond. On Ladd Drummond's birthday this past year, the two of them took to Instagram to shower him with love and warm wishes. "My dad (Laddy Daddy as we like to call him) has always been the most present, involved, and committed father," Alex captioned a photo on her account. Meanwhile, Paige added that Ladd "is a giving, faithful, humble, and selfless father who I have so much admiration for." So sweet! 😭
