-14 degrees

Well we made it. Abigail experienced her first airplane ride and below 0 degree temps. Today was a long day for me. I am glad that we are here. Abigail had her ups and downs during the travel day but all in all she did well. The day started at the small airport in Mesa. I was happy for the small airport which made getting through security really fast. Abigail got fussy as she needed a nap and wouldn't fall asleep. Once we boarded though she fell asleep and slept for a while. Abigail had a hard time with the descent and cried for about 10 minutes, but once her ears felt better she settled down and just sat contently on my lap. Both Jake and I were very thankful that we had a direct flight today. I can't believe how cold it is here. -14 temps with it dropping even lower with the wind. My face froze as soon as I walked outside. We are also thankful for the snowsuit Grandma Jude brought for us. Abigail was cozy warm and fell asleep in the car. Although there were at least 3-4 times durning the day when I thought "what are we doing" it is great to see family and be together for Christmas. Here are some photos.

Long lines to check in but it went fast. Hanging out before our flight left.

On the plane feeling happy!

Getting ready to leave the airport in Bis. -35 degrees with the wind.





Going to bed now. I set the temperature in our room at 80 degrees but Jake made me turn in down.
