P Pictures

For father's day my sister-in-law, Joy, came up with the cutest idea as a gift to give my father-in-law. My assignment was to take a picture of Hunter with the letter "P." I thought ok no big deal, made a P, got Hunter dressed up for picture time, waited for Kyle to get home and outside we went to take pictures. Usually Hunter loves picture time and says "cheese" every time I take a picture. Well this day we must have caught him in a really bad mood.



First we went out front because our next door neighbors just got a new fence. I thought it would be the perfect back drop for some of our pictures.






This would be Hunter throwing the letter P down and saying " No!"




We could see that this was not going to work out in the front yard. So, we thought about going to the back yard where he can play on his swing set and maybe that would make him more cooperative. So, off to the back yard we went.





Kyle would give him the letter P and Hunter would immediately throw it down the slide. I tried to get a good picture in between












Then Hunter was at his breaking point, he was tired of the P, Mommy and Daddy were tired of him not cooperating, he had had it! But we kept going, I was bound and determined to get this picture done. So after a little spanking persuasion he started to participate. Here are the pictures we got once he decided to play along:









And here is the finished product. It turned out so cute and Kyle's Dad got teary eyed and said "these are the best kinds of gifts." It was very sweet. Hunter is so blessed to have a grandfather like his Papa:

It was such a great idea and turned out so cute!!!
