Samantha and I traveled to Denver this past weekend to visit Katie and Maddie Finn. What a wonderful trip! Samantha was so happy she finally got to meet these two special ladies, and we were so glad we got to be there for Katie's bridal shower :)
It was Samantha's first time on a plane. I'll admit I was a bit nervous to take an infant on the plane alone, but it definitely went better than I feared. TSA was great and didn't make me take her out of the ergo to go through security (btw- I am officially in love with the front zip pocket on the ergo- such a great place for my boarding pass, phone, and id!) Then we had an on time flight, no poop explosion, AND an empty seat next to us. On the way back we had none of those things, but we still made it.
Maddie was amazing with Samantha. She wanted to hold her, pick out her clothes, read to her, and show her how to roll. What a wonderful big cousin!
Note the matching polka-dot outfits in each of these pictures. Maddie especially requested she match Samantha :)
And is this game of peek-a-boo not the cutest ever?!
While in Denver we got to go to the pool- Samantha's first time!
Note: I found this Lily Pulitzer bathing suit at the consignment store- makes me want to start consignment sale shopping for me!
Having fun with Auntie Katie! Samantha completely froze in the water, but she seemed to enjoy watching the big kids play even if she wasn't sure what to do herself.
Cousins :)
The pool is exhausting! After exactly fifteen minutes in the pool Samantha passed out.
But we did have some fun playing when we got back home!
On Saturday we felt so lucky to get to attend Katie's bridal shower. Jill and Laura set up a beautiful and delicious lunch and what a wonderful time to honor Katie! Can't wait to see more pictures.
Samantha even got to have her first place setting!
Lori Finn proved to be baby holder extraordinaire! So glad I got to catch up with Ma Finn and Pa Finn last weekend, too :)
Loved being with these girls! The rest of the Princeton auntie crew- you were dearly missed!
We also got to have dinner with Nicole and Brad- loved seeing them as well! Sorry we missed a picture of Brad with Samantha!
So sweet to spend time with each other and our precious girls. Love you Katie and Maddie!
Beautiful mothers and daughters and aunts! Maddie looks like such a fun cool cousin! She'll have a lot to teach Samantha and all her cousins along the way!
