Crazy Christensen Clan: Halloween 2009

So here we are. It's 2010 and as I look back I just can't imagine where the time has gone. Jason and I met in 1999 and married August 4th, 2001. Since then we have had 3 beautiful children- Ashley, BraeLynne and Eden- to add to the instant family we already had with my step-son Riley. Together we make a very colorful but well rounded and happy little family. For the last few years my job has been at home. It is such a wonderful privelege to be able to be there every day for my children. Jason, on the other hand, keeps very busy outside the home. In addition to his full time job in maintenance at the Sufco coal mine, he is also known as SSG Christensen with the Utah National Guard AND he is a member of the Holden Volunteer Fire Department. As if that wasn't enough to keep a person on their feet, he just started doing Veterans' Honors funerals this year. I am so proud to be married to a man with such loyalty for country and community and such passion for what he believes in.

Halloween 2009

Pirates pirates everywhere! My plan was to dress the kids up as pirates for Halloween and then have a pirate pizza party for BraeLynne's birthday next weekend. I found a pink pirate costume for BraeLynne that went well with the adorable pink skulls set I bought for her birthday party. I had a pink costume picked out for Eden that matched too, but it never came in stock again in the size I wanted, so we improvised.

The kids had a lot of fun. We went to my mom's house and then went trick-or-treating in Fillmore. We skipped the church party this year and I am still in trouble for it. It is always at an inconvenient time and I didn't think the kids would remember- but they always do. One house with strobe lights on the porch almost made Ashley turn around and run. When we got back to Holden we visited Grandma Great and Jason tried to finish off her candy for her.
