Christmas morning we got up and went to Rob's parents house to celebrate with his family. Rob was especially excited because our brother-in-law, Chris, got him a radar detector and his parents got us a GPS! Rob had a little too much fun driving this past week!
A belly shot with my sister-in-law, Kristina on Christmas morning.
We're about 8 weeks apart; she was 17 weeks here and I was 25 weeks.
I can't believe my baby is going to have a cousin so close in age!
Around 2:00 p.m. on Christmas day we got in the car and headed to Canada to stay the night with my grandparents. We had a really nice time with them and look forward to making a visit again so they can meet the baby! We left their place the next afternoon to get to Michigan by 3:00 p.m. where we met Ben, Rob's best friend, at our hotel. We spent the evening at the rehearsal and dinner and then went back to the hotel where Rob and Ben were able to spend some time together before he tied the not.
On December 27, Ben and Kristin joined the 'married' club. They are such a great couple and we are so excited that Ben found such an amazing bride in Kristin. We look forward to visiting them down in Virginia over the years and continuing to grow our friendship.
Rob was happy to stand as Ben's best man and the two of us sang Household of Faith, a Steven Curtis Chapman song which fit well into their theme of Faith, Family and Friends.
Here are a few pictures from their beautiful day...

There is never a dull moment when the Dolby boys are around!
The beautiful bride and groom.
Best man speech.
I had the pleasure of holding a sweet 7 week old little boy during the reception. It was good to get some practice in before my little one arrives!
From the reception hall, Rob and I drove across the border to Windsor where my Aunt, her husband and my cousins live. We stayed up way too late catching up and then got up the next morning and celebrated Christmas with my mom's parents and her siblings. And of course Christmas with them would not be complete without our annual 'concert' which we all love so much... :-) After my grandparents went home, all the grandkids went to Rockin' Bowl at a local bowling alley. We scrounged around to find matching team outfits and headed out for an hour and half full of horrible bowling but we had fun none the less.
The whole gang at the end of the night.
The argyle team...Will, Cristen, Katie and Marcie.
The striped team...Amber, Marcie, Rob and I.
