A Merry Little Christmas

My family flew in for Everett's first Christmas. The first night they were here the windchill just happened to be -10! Poor Floridians....they didn't see it coming. Come to think of it, I think that's the coldest we have ever experienced Louisville as well. Despite the bitter cold, we had a very fun week. We shopped, cooked, went to the movies (Marley and Me.....bring a case of tissues), and had a lot of fun with Everett. The night before Christmas, Everett must have been very excited because he woke up every two hours! He hasn't done that in months. Christmas day brought many memories and new traditions. Everett has definitely brought a whole new meaning to Christmas; now that Eric and I are parents, we can better understand God's love for His children. James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of lights from whom there is no variation of light or shadow due to change."
