Easy Father's Day Gift for Dad or Grandpa

6.22.2016

Now that Father's Day is over, I wanted to share with you the gift R and I worked on to give Jordan and her grandpas for Father's Day! I couldn't share before, because Jordan and my dad read my blog, and I didn't want to ruin to surprise. 

When I was in Illinois a few weekends ago, my friend Justine showed me this idea that she had found on Pinterest, and I thought it was so cute! We made the sign and posed our babies for these pictures, and then we printed out the photos, got some frames, and wrapped up this super cute Father's Day gift.

It's too late for this year, obviously, but maybe this is something you want to do next year! Although I will warn you that it is ridiculously hard to get a ten-month-old to pose with a sign while looking at the camera. She kept trying to eat or or throw it or crawl on it!
I am so thankful for Jordan and how well he loves us. He truly is my better half, even though sometimes I forget. And I'm thankful for my dad and father-in-law, who light up when R is around and are such wonderful, godly examples of how to be a good father and husband. We are blessed!

Some outtakes for you!

Precious! I wish I would've done something like this! I bombed hard on Father's Day. It's the day my grandma passed away, so I spent the day crying off and on and he took care of me instead of the other way around. Maybe I'll call a redo and try something like this :) I can't get over how R sticks out her tongue. Ridiculously cute.

She just loves sticking that tongue out!! :) She has grown so much! Love this idea - it is so sweet and special. I'm always in the market for a great Father's Day/daddy gift - they can be so hard to shop for ;)

Such an adorable idea! Love the out takes! Definitely keeping this in mind for next year when maybe I have room in my brain to think and plan gifts for Father's Day! Ha.
