We went home to my parents' house in MN. It was Abel's first plane ride - he did great!
The whole family was home - my sister and her family and my brother and his wife. They got to meet Abel for the first time. My two-year-old niece met him too, and that was fun. She has seen him on Skype for the past couple months and talks a lot about "Baby Abel", but we weren't sure how she would react in person because she was telling my sister that she couldn't hold him. But she was a great sport and was very helpful, bringing me burp cloths and his pacifier.
Brian and Abel
Cal, Jocey, and Abel - Jocey liked to hold his hand
We celebrated Christmas since we were all together as a family. Jocey and Kailee (our nieces) were good at helping open presents - more Jocey than Kailee.
It was so nice to have help with him while we were home - we didn't change many diapers, my mom got up with him during the night, he always had someone to hold him. It's hard being so far away from family!
