The Snowy Day - Part II
Nick came home early to do some snowman building with Carter.
There wasn't a ton of snow so Nick made do with what was there and shoveled the grass to get a pile to build a snowman.
Carter was more interested in throwing snowballs at Daddy!
But he did take time out to put the carrot nose on the snowman.
Our first finished Frosty!

Carter John Crivella's - The Snowy Day
We woke up this morning to snow falling and a day off for Mommy! We took full advantage of the snow this morning and bundled up to go outside.
Carter has never officially played in the snow, so we did everything that we could think of that would be fun in the snow.
We made and threw snowballs,
made snow angels,
shoveled the driveway,
caught snowflakes on our tongues,
tasted the snow,
and made "snow" castles!
We came inside and had some "hot" chocolate (chocolate milk) and whipped cream!
Hopefully it will keep snowing and we can make a snowman when Daddy gets home from work!
We LOVE snow! (and snow days!)

Big Boy Bed
I have wanted to put Carter into our extra bed for awhile now and thought that around this time of the year we would put it into action. Our extra bed is a double bed and after some careful thought and consideration we decided that the bed may be a little too big for our little (big) boy right now and a little too big for his room. So, we were lucky enough to inherit a twin mattress from Nick's parents, which we picked up this weekend. I had been looking at Pottery Barn Kids for quilts and sheets, but they are very pricey so the other day when I was at Kohl's I saw a navy blue/sky blue reversible down comforter that was reasonably priced. Carter has been saying that he wants a truck bed so I thought with this comforter and some truck sheets we would be just fine. And we are!!! We took Carter to Target to pick out his special truck sheets and I picked up bed rails from Buy Buy Baby this weekend and by Sunday night our little (big) boy was all ready to sleep in his new truck bed. While Nick and I were setting it up he was running around the house like he had just eaten a 5 pound bag of sugar, he was so excited and kept saying "This is going to be so exciting!"
For the last two nights Carter has been sleeping in his new bed, and LOVES it!! I am hoping that we have made this switch far enough in advance so that he doesn't want to regress back to a smaller bed or even worse the crib, but for now we are doing great!
Carter is under there, he is hiding (one of his most favorite things to do!)
I know it needs a bed skirt but I had some technical difficulties with the one from Target (fighting with the iron!) I got a new one and as soon as I iron it I will put it on.
Reading with Daddy. Nick is excited that he can now lay in the bed with him!
Success our first night, I went in to check on how he was sleeping and took a few shots. Sleeping like a baby! I think he looks so little in the big bed! He got too big on me, I'll admit I was a little teary eyed about this step, he really isn't a baby anymore.

Christmas 2008
We are very fortunate that our families are both very close and we get to visit with them all during the holiday's. It can make them very busy but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Christmas Eve: Christmas at the Busche's
Christmas Eve is spent at my parent's house and begins with lunch followed by opening presents. Carter and Brady were very excited about opening presents and didn't really care who the present was for they just wanted to OPEN!!! We then headed to church where we met up with Nick's parents and then had dinner back at my parents house.
My dad with his bottle of Johnny Walker Gold
Brad with his Fish Pen (it is a full length fishing rod folded up into the size of a pen, a very BIG pen, but still a pen)
Christmas Morning: At Home
Christmas morning we spent at home, just the three of us. Carter woke up (not too early) at about 8:30 and was so excited to see that Santa had come to his house. (We have a video, I will see what I can do to upload it) Carter got everything he asked Santa for the rolling Tigger and the Mickey Mouse roller coaster. He also go a few other things from us, one of his favorites a magnifying glass went with us everywhere we went that day! Here are some of our family shots.
You can see the magnifying glass in the picture of me and Carter.
I got Nick a new toaster, that apparently he knew about thanks to a GREAT secret keeping son!
Wii Fit! (that says I am overweight based on my BMI, guess I have some work to do :)
Christmas Day: Christmas at the Crivella's
After our Christmas morning we headed down to Nick's parents house for our third and final Christmas. Nick's brother, Vince, and our sister-in-law, Michele (who is expecting their first son February 21st!) drove down from New Jersey that morning to spend the day with us. We had our third round of opening presents and we were definitely spoiled this Christmas. Carter got an easel and an awesome tool bench that he cannot get enough of. He will play with it for hours (thanks Uncle Vince and Aunt Michele)! We also received a basket that was personalized with our house on the front from Aunt Margy and Uncle Bart.
We had a great Christmas and look forward to next year when we will have 2 new additions to the family to celebrate with!
The House Basket
We were also fortunate to be able to have all of the Crivella's together for a family picture, including Nick's Grandma (who will be 95 on January 31st). With the help of a tripod and the camera timer we got a great picture!
