Valentine's Day

To make Valentine's Day special this year I had to get super creative and not spend any money from our budget (times are tight in the Teune household, but God is good and we trust in his faithfulness). I wanted to give Greg a Valentine from Alexis, but didn't know how to really make it from her personally when she is too young to color or scribble. I thought I would be brave and do a little hand print. I found 75cents in our junk drawer (enough to cover the cost of the 57cent white paint at Wal-Mart.) Next I cut out out hearts using my Cricut machine and put together a little Valentine for Daddy. Actually getting a hand print from a 4 month old proved to be quite difficult, but we did okay if you don't count the thumb that didn't want to straighten out :)
We had planned to meet Greg at his work to have lunch (the Hilton had Qdoba cater for lunch). I felt a little bad that I hadn't done anything for Greg from me as a gift, but figured his daughter was the best Valentine ever. Before we left to visit him, I saw a friend post to Instagram that Dutch Bros was having a special...
I couldn't help but feel like God was looking out for me. I raided our kitchen for some canned food and we set off to get Daddy an Iced Vanilla Latte and bring him his Valentines.
Once we got home, the sun was shining so I got out the stroller to go for a walk. I saw the blanket sitting in the stroller that we always use on our walks and realized it was very fitting for Valentine's Day. We had an impromptu photo shoot...
Hope all of you had a very Happy Valentine's Day!

  1. Lexi's Valentine to her Daddy turned out adorable! So so sweet! When Wesley was a baby Clint made a similar hand print card for me with Wesley's baby hand print, I still have it, of course! (Clint has all ladies that work in his office so I have definitely benefited over the years from the gift suggestions that they tell him to get me!)
