Christmas with the Cavins

We are now in touch with things due to the world wide web. It's a big step for us but one we saw paying for internet very necessary. We also got channels 2-21. No more fuzzy T.V. with the bunny ears. We will pretty much always have a signal of some sort. We are moving on up. I should be blogging a little more often.

We had a great Christmas! It was so much fun this year with the ol' Grey Bear. Before we left on Sunday for our Christmas week travels, I realized Grey was hot and had a fever. He went downhill from there. Luckily on Monday we got to go to our old Pediatrician in Columbia and discovered he had a really bad double ear infection. He was really sick actually. There were absolutely NO warning signs until the fever. I just wanted him to feel better before his first really fun Christmas. He is just now starting to get back to his normal self. We really felt so bad for the poor little guy.

We woke up Christmas morning and he was in a little better mood. He still didn't feel too good but sure did enjoy opening his presents. He wanted to take each thing out of it's manufactured packaging (and we all know what a pain that is) and play with it before he moved on. It was really so much fun to watch him. Matthew and I were both so happy just being with him. We left my parent's house about 1:30 to head to Columbia where we enjoyed another Christmas and a great dinner. We had such a great day!

The whole Christmas season was really great. We enjoyed Christmas shopping, decorating the tree, making cookies together, watching Christmas movies, telling Grey about the birth of our Savior (and praying that one day that will be incredibly significant to him), going to see Santa, Roper Mountain lights, family, Christmas parties and so on. Here are a few pictures from the season.
