New Years in Provo

We flew from Florida to Provo to visit Kevin's family for New Year's.  The flight had two legs and was a lot longer than the flight from Campaign, but Abby did pretty well.  We learned from our first time and checked ALL the bags this time--kind of expensive but ultimately worth it!

Kevin's parents are currently living in Kevin's sister's basement, so we got to see them all when we stayed there too.  And Kevin's younger brother Alan flew in from Washington too.  Abby met her four cousins on the Hoffman side for the first time, including Caitlin, who is just about six months older.  We pretty much hung out and visited the whole time.  Abby continued to sleep 7 or 8 hour stretches at night which was AWESOME, although around this time she also started consistently refusing to breastfeed.  She'd figured out that the bottle was way easier.  So I did a lot of pumping with the hand pump I brought.

My sister Heidi and her family happened to be down in Utah (they live in Rexburg, ID) while we were there so we got to visit with them for several hours too, which I was so glad about.  It was great to see and talk with them and have them coo over my baby.

We had a fun time in Provo, but by the end iy had been a lot of traveling and we were pretty ready to go home and enjoy our own bed and baby swing and an electric pump!
