The wedding

After all my apprehension, anxiety and nerves, the wedding weekend actually went exceptionally well!  Our little angel was an absolute delight to everyone when she excitedly noticed and pointed at all the "eloplanes" at the airport.  She kept on saying "there eloplane", "eloplane airport!"  Luckily her excitement continued onto our actual flight with her looking out of the window, fiddling with the buttons on the arm rest and calling for "ganny & boka".

Thankfully Lily was an absolute angel on the flight (with a little thanks no doubt to the iPad for keeping the entertainment coming).  She sat the majority of the time inbetween her "ganny" and "boka" leaving mom and dad to relax a little.  Upon arrival in Johannesburg, Lily had a nice nap once we had taken receipt of our hire car - we had barely left the airport when her little eyes gave in and she nodded off.

The sleeping arrangments were one of my main concerns with us all in one small room and with daddy's snoring.  My worries were unfounded as although the room was small, Lily had a little alcove where we placed the camp cot and she happily went to sleep both nights and for her day nap!  I was so relieved.  Daddy did snore as predicted, but it only affected me - Lily slept right through.

The wedding was a little bit more work for us and for Ganny though.  Lily likes to chat so we had to go out of the church for the majority of the service.  She did sit still during the reception and speeches so at least we got to enjoy that part of the wedding.  The iPad throughout the entire weekend was a life saver providing plenty of entertainment - we will never venture away without it!  Our flight home was also taken care of when we were delayed by 3 hours and Lily had to miss her day nap.  I was quite anxious about the flight seeing she could possibly be rather miserable from lack of sleep, but she was an angel and sat nicely playing on her iPad for the majority of the 2 hour flight.

So all-in-all, we had a fabulous weekend away and Miss Lily Pie was a true little angel!
