Lots of great photos to post and memories to share...Dan's sister, Ellie, got married this past weekend at West Point and it was spectacular! So many friends and family there to celebrate this special occasion and things couldn't have gone better in terms of all the wedding events and our two kiddos.
We left on Friday after lunch and both kids seemed primed for the ride down to White Plains.
Sadly, it wasn't the smoothest of rides since Dagny is still learning how to hold it together in the car, but we made it to NY in time to relax a bit before Shabbat dinner. Grandma Gilda made a wonderful dinner for everyone (Donny's parents and siblings and us Forseters, too) and after Finley went off to bed (on a cot mattress on the floor!), Ellie had some bonding time with her niece.
After a laid back morning, we piled into the car once again and headed to the gorgeous Thayer Hotel at West Point to check in. Our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, but since my parents had already arrived for the weekend, Finley napped in their room. Dagny, my mom, and I hung out in the lobby and acted as the unofficial welcoming committee as lots of other wedding guests arrived. It was fun to see friends and family and to show off the newest addition to the Forseter clan.
Here are three worthwhile photos that don't really fit into any of my other planned wedding weekend blogs so just thought I'd toss them in:
My sister Caitlin was invited to the wedding as well and she arrived Saturday before the rehearsal dinner.
Finley became his (second) cousin Jake's best buddy over the weekend and they had fun together checking out a local playground on Sunday morning. This photo really makes me smile!
Our king-sized bed came in handy this weekend since Dagny still sleeps with us and Finley was a frequent visitor. Sure makes our full-sized bed at home seem small...
