Carver Christmas

Slowly but surely I'm getting around to posting the rest of our Christmas fun. This is going to be dedicated to the Carver times at Christmas.
Now let me start out with pointing out these cute ornaments my little sister Caitlin made for us. There is one for me, Nathan, Ethan & baby Shelby....it's so cute, look close and you'll notice a pacifier in her mouth. Caitlin is so crafty! Thank you Caity.

Like I said before we were lucky enough to welcome both of our families here to Utah for Christmas. Of course we had to break up our time with them so we could make sure to have fun with both families.
The Carver clan stayed at our house Christmas eve so we got to wake up to a "Carver-Christmas morning". It was only part of the Carver Clan though : Mom, Dad, Jeffrey, Caitlin & Brent and Janeen, (who came down from Idaho)


We missed my brother Chris and Carrie and their families who stayed in Texas to celebrate and of course Bryan who's in Guadalajara, Mexico on a mission. Speaking of Bryan we were so excited that we all got to talk to him for a little bit on Christmas day and he's doing awesome.

Nathan and I decided this year we were going to buy one main gift for eachother........
Who knew that 3 little letters could bring so much fun, joy & laughter to a family!
That's right we got a " wii " for Christmas, that was our main present this year. (mine and Nathan's to eachother) He found a really good package on the internet that included lots of games and the wii fit which I am mostly excited about!!!!









More wii pictures to follow.......


Of course the best part of Christmas was watching Ethan get excited & open gifts. He's really into Bob the builder and trains right now so we made sure we accomodated for both.






And of course there is the infamous "Lightning Mcqueen" which to Ethan is "Lightning A-queen" Here's Ethan and uncle Jeffrey working on some Bob the Builder play-doh" He has such a good uncle.


One of my favorite gifts, which I thought Shelby and I would enjoy when she's a little older was "The Little Mermaid" I love disney movies!. Well.. come to find out it's a big hit with Ethan too. He can't quite remember the name "Ariel" so for now he just refers to it as "mermaid". I want to watch "mermaid"






It was so nice to wake up to a house full of family, it always makes things more exciting. I know Ethan especially loved playing video games with Uncle Bent & Uncle Jef-Jef. I know these pictures are all about the same but I love Ethan's expression so much in them I had to post them.

Neen was also very helpful with little Shelby while the boys played. We were also surprised to hear a big announcement from Brent & Janeen. They announced that they are having a boy!! We all had our bets going on what the baby was.
So my parents are just raking in the Grandkids. My older bro. Chris just had a girl, Mavery, then we had Shelby....Carrie is expecting twin girls and then 3 weeks later Brent will be having a little boy.

That makes 10 grandkids for my parents. And that makes 5 within a year. My brother Bryan is going to come home to 5 new neices and nephews, what a surprse!! Congrats to Neen and Brent !!! We're so glad the Carver's came up to celebrate Christmas with us. (more x-mas pictures to follow)
