MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- President-elect Donald Trump will move into the White House with his wife, Melania, and 10- year-old son Barron. His adult children are expected to be frequent guests.
Now to a look at this unique first family.
During Wednesday morning's acceptance speech, Donald Trump was surrounded by his most trusted political allies and advisors - his family members.
"They're definitely breaking the mold. Washington will see a family they've never seen the likes of before," said Monica Langley, a senior writer with the Wall Street Journal.
As for Trump and his wife, she says, "Just as he is brash and very vocal, his wife Melania is the exact opposite…Melania will present herself as an elegant, more thoughtful woman. She's smart. She speaks four languages. She likes to say that she is a legal immigrant to this country."
As First Lady, Melania promises to fight cyberbullying. She limited her campaign appearances to be a stay-at-home mom for 10-year-old Barron. It's unclear how much that will change once that "home" becomes the White House.
"People didn't really understand that her priority is her son. So it's going to be interesting now that she is going to have to be a First Lady and her priority is going to have to become the country as well as her son," said Langley.
Perhaps Donald Trump's most trusted confidant during the campaign was his oldest daughter and businesswoman in her own right Ivanka Trump.
When Ivanka talked, Donald listened. She convinced him to advocate for guaranteed, federally financed maternity leave.
Ivanka's husband Jerod Kushner also stepped in as a trusted advisor, overseeing the campaign's digital strategy.
"I predict that Ivanka Trump and Jerod Kushner will be a very important couple in the new administration," said Langley.
As for the sons, Eric Trump often worked as his father's surrogate for interviews and his brother Donald Junior was also a constant presence on the Trump campaign trail. But now the brothers are expected to take over their father's business interests once he becomes President.
Trump's second daughter Tiffany is said to be pursuing a law degree.
"The Trump family that we saw on the campaign trail is a really close one. They helped put him in office. I think we'll continue to see a Trump family that helps support him as he runs the country," said Langley.
