We traveled north to Vermont on Christmas Eve to celebrate Christmas and New Years. As usual, the visit went by (too) fast. I’m trying not to dwell on the quick passage of time though, but instead on the treasured moments, and especially Abel’s experiences, at our home away from home.
Abel was gifted toys and clothes and books this Christmas, but more importantly he was lavished with love from our family and friends, particularly his grandparents.
There were plenty of hugs and lots of cuddling from his Grammie and Grandpa (Casey’s parents), including a night alone on New Years Eve so that Casey and I could go on a date night.
At Nana and Grampa’s (my parent’s) house, there were hugs and nurturing, along with plenty of adventure and activity, including bundling for a push in a sled by Grampa, one from when he was a kid…
A bounce in the Johnny Jump Up while watching Tata do a jig…
And even a bit of piano playing.
He is still very little, but I can already tell visits to Vermont are going to be as cherished by Abel as they are by me and Casey. Our little threesome is truly blessed by an amazing family and I am so glad to have their participation in creating magic for our little boy during future Christmas seasons and “every day” visits alike.
