Sian's Wedding

Up on Saturday at quarter to four to get dressed & pack the car. Put a sleeping Nya in her chair at 10 past five and set off for eurotunnel. (Jan will be pleased to know we did auto check-in with no hassle!) As we nearded Breda around 8.30 UK time Nya started to stir so we decided to pop into Tante Conny's to show off our grandchild and let Traer give her her feed. Lovely to see her and she was enchanted by Nya (of course).

We reached our hotel at 12 and were lucky to be able to check in straight away. We had adjacent rooms which was useful. Had lunch then Ed went to sleep and Terry looked after Nya in the room whilst Traer and I went for a swim - and both fell asleep by the pool till 3.30.

The wedding reception started at 6 when Sian and Rene arrived. She looked radiant. It was a wonderful party and a great family reunion. The music was live and the performers did not take a break all night. Nya was a star attraction and only went to bed with her mama around 10.30. Ed and I lasted till 12.15 and Terry rolled in at 3.30. Says he was led astray by his cousins Liesje and Sanne!
Everyone had breakfast together at 10 then we left at midday. Home by 5. Such a good weekend that we all feel like planning a huge family party so all cousins from all sides can meet each other.

So upset we could not be there - Sian looks amazing. But we all had the best time in Wilderness and I have found my new area to live.

Sian looks radiant! I'm sure Hans was a very proud father.

Was this Nya's first time at the bar? She is really starting early.
