Little boy drove us all the way to Philly for my amazing cousin Jill's wedding!
After 13 hours of driving, with a few breaks and a picnic on the JMU campus, we arrived just in time for the end of the rehearsal. Connor got to meet his (second) cousin Charlie (3 1/2 months) for the very first time! The baby boys and the dads - like their ties?
We had no idea they'd be matching.
"Hi cousin! Nice tie. Nice mohawk!"
With the mommas. Sister of the bride/my sweet cousin Katy!
The bride and groom let us stay at the home they are moving into.
It is next to a big park and we had a great little walk/playtime before the wedding!
Big beautiful trees - you never notice all the shades of green until
you live somewhere where there aren't so many....
I got the chance to sing for the ceremony...
...and Laura did a scripture reading.
Everyone looked so beautiful!
The whole family was able to go...Christmas card? :)
Marmee!
Damon came too!
Papa tickles.
My godfather, Greg, and his grandson!
Our little family!
Resting in the hotel before the reception.
Jill and Mike are so fun. They have traveled all over South America - building a children's library and seeing everything they could see while bartering for everything they did. They both have hearts to help others and love to laugh and be around others. This is when they were announced at the reception...
...and the beginning of their first dance...
which suddenly turned into an awesome choreographed dance with all sorts
of moves...a surprise to EVERYONE, even their families!!!
Father/daughter dance
Pretty cake! All of their tables were "numbered" with pictures in different places that they have visited together and a story to go with it. Everything was perfectly color coordinated in black and a turquoise-y blue...beautiful!
Jill, Mom, and Laura on the dance floor.
Cousin Colin, Aunt Mary Ellen, Mom, and Uncle Donny dancing to an "oldie"
Will breaking out his moves. We all found out that he liked to dance (WILDLY) about 4 years ago when Katy and Kirby got married. This time we found out that he has some serious style and has been winning competitions at school dances! I don't know where he got that...
Damon and Laura
Alli and Molly
Mother and daughter (as if you couldn't tell!)
Kirby and Will revisiting their dance off. They cleared the entire dance floor.
Then it almost got dangerous...no injuries, though! ;)
"Sisters, sisters!"
Mother and daughter #2! :)
Uncle Bob and Dan finally joined us on the dance floor.

Mom and baby Charlie the next morning.
It was SUCH a good time being with our whole extended family on my mom's side...all of the cousins were there, which hasn't happened in about 4 years (not even at our wedding)! I love getting together with them and Jill, Mike, and their families planned a spectacular wedding! Congrats guys, we love you!
