Cousin Time

On February 3, 2011 Maggie got to meet her closest cousin for the first time! My sister, Aimee, and her son, Smoot, came up to visit us. It was so much fun to get the two of them together. Smoot looks like a tank next to Maggie. They are so cute!

I loved having Aimee up here with us. We really didn't have anything to do, but just knowing that was she was willing to come up here and spend the time talking to me meant so much.

This was great having Aimee hold both babies and I can't believe how big that flower on Maggie's head looks. It's not even a big flower :)

Just 3 days later, on February 6th, Aimee and Porter gave Smoot a name and blessing during their ward sacrament meeting. It was a special day for their family and we wanted to be a part of it. Although we couldn't make it to the actual blessing of Smoot, we met up with my family afterward so that we could all be together.

Here are some picture from that day

I love my baby!

This was the first time all 3 grandkids were together, so naturally we had to get pictures of them.

These poor kids had at least 5 cameras in their faces, all of us snapping pictures, trying to get the perfect shot of them. They were good sports.

And Maggie decided she'd finally had enough. Can't say I blame her :)

This weekend was full of firsts for Maggie. She was only a week and a half old and needed to meet many more of her cousins and aunts and uncles. The next day she got the chance to meet a good chunk of Spencer's family and it was so exciting for us to get to show her off to everyone. Unfortunately it was under the pretense of Spencer's Aunt's funeral. It was so good to be with the family though and see everyone for the first time after bringing Maggie into this life. Maggie even got to meet Aunts and Uncles and cousins that I have never met!

I wish I had taken my camera for that and gotten some pictures - but what can you do now? It'll just have to be enough saying that we were happy to see Spencer's brother and sisters there and all the extended family too. They just ate her up. We had her dressed in the same pink dress she wore in the pictures above and we were the proud to receive so many compliments about our darling child.
