The Christopher Crew: Brandon & Amanda's Wedding Weekend

Josh, Tillman, and I traveled to Durham, NC/Wake Forest, NC this weekend for my cousin's wedding. We were very excited about going because we knew it would be like a mini-family reunion with all of our family in town, and most of the family had not met Tillman yet because we live so far away from each other (Northern VA and RI).
We got in to Durham to stay with my grandpa, Tillman's great-grandpa, Friday evening. We said our hellos and waited up for Uncle Tony and Auny Danica. They got in about 11:00 and Tillman was still awake. Her ususal bedtime is 7:30. She did great.

She loved playing with this lei all weekend! It's so bright and colorful

Saturday morning we got up and went over to Grandpa's room for breakfast and hanging out. We played some, went shopping some, visited, and had lunch. Then we all parted ways to get ready for the wedding. The ceremony and reception were outdoors at a mutual site and it was absolutely beautiful!! I loved all of the colors, decorations, and details. It was very nice.

...and...she's down for the count. She did so well considering she skipped some naps, it was hot, it rained, she was passed around like a hot potato, etc. What a champ!

The BEAUTIFUL bride with Tillman - this is WAY passed Tillman's bedtime and look how well she's holding up.

Sunday morning we got up around 8:00 and had breakfast and visited one last time with family. We all hung around until lunchtime, then we had sandwiches, and families started departing to make the trips home. We had a wonderful weekend and were so excited the entire family finally got to meet Tillman.

This is where Tillman slept all weekend. This is her pea pod travel bed. She did surprisingly well and slept through both nights even though we found out Sunday that we were putting the inflatable mattress in the bed the wrong way.
