Brent and I, very last minute, decided to book flights to California so Elijah could meet the rest of his family. And I'm so glad that we did. I love my inlaws and always enjoy being around them. We don't get to spend a lot of time together since we live in Tennessee and they live in California, so we have to savor the times we do get to be around them.
I was really worried about the flight with a new baby. He's been a bit colicky so I was worried he'd decide to scream the entire flight. I spend a lot of time praying and packing all the things that "might" work to calm him down. I was pleasantly surprised when he was good the entire flight. He slept both flights. When we arrived in Sacramento, Grandpa was waiting at the bottom of the escalator for us. Not only was Elijah excited to meet him, Brent and I were both excited to see him. I love that moment when it's been a while since you've seen someone and you are super excited and then there they are.
I was starving so we stopped at In and Out burger. It's not a trip to California and unless you eat there. Then we made the drive home. Again I was super excited to see everyone at the house and for them to all meet Elijah. And it was just perfect. I loved getting to see all their faces when they first saw him and got to hold him. He was overly tired the first evening which made him very cranky but that was the only day he was super cranky. But things got better from there.

This was Brent's baby blessing outfit. I loved that Jana found it and I was able to take a picture of Elijah in it. I should ask Bryant to scan a picture of Brent on his blessing day and blog them together.
The Adamson's are big BYU fans so for Christmas they got Elijah this cute BYU hat. I think the hat is super cute, even if it is BYU. So he definitely needed to wear it in CA. Him and Grammy look so cute together. He was quite taken with her.
Grandpa spent many hours just like this. When he would try to get Elijah to lay down, he would automatically wake up and grandpa was a sucker and would just hold him longer.
While we were in California, Jana's friends threw a baby shower. They had planned on giving Jana a party before she came here in February but then when they found out we were coming they let us be part of the party. It was so incredibly kind of them. They have really great friends and I always feel welcome around them.
They had a very yummy spread of food. The Brewers provided the food and the Barth's had it in their home. That is the same place we had our CA open house. I might get use to having a party there whenever I'm in CA.
This was the most delicious cake that I've ever tasted! Yum, I kinda wish I had a piece now. Well not really because I still need to lose 50 pounds.
