Happy Halloween 2012

For Halloween this year we decided to do a Peter Pan theme. I know I am a little crazy when it comes to doing a theme.  But now that I have a mix of boy(as it stands) and girls it is so much more fun. Plus, I think the girls really enjoy it! Connor really couldn't care less, but I know someday he will want to be something gross or dead. So I am going to enjoy it!

 

 

We ran all around town! First we went to CR England where Mike work, and did the parade there. THEY GOT SO MUCH CANDY! Their buckets were so full and we hadn't even gone around our neighborhood yet! After that we drove to Grandma Brenda's work. We got more candy there. Then we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Chris's. More candy!!! Overkill really!

This is a picture of the 5 oldest grandkids at Grandma Brenda's work. Brenda came dressed
 as Glinda the good witch!
Ethan-Harry Pottery, Boo- Tinkerbell(Don't you love the Emerald City Glasses?) Aidan-Mario, Bubba-Peter Pan, Belle-Wendy

Outside Grandma Brendas work!

Cute Wendy.

Thanks to Grandma Brenda and Grandma Melanie for helping me with this cute costume.

Boo as Tinkerbell

She is such a ham!!

Flying Tinkerbell.

Peter Pan. This boy is so hard to take pictures of. He is always moving, especially after a few pieces of candy! So the best pictures I got of him were went he didn't know I was taking them.

My three kids. They really looked to cute1

Even I got in on all the action. Yes, I was Captain Hook! It makes it more fun for my kids when I dress up. They try and try to get Mike to dress up, but he will never do it. So Mommy steps up, and even does a little cross dressing!

A cute one of me and my little guy. Pretty sure the real Captain Hook didn't love Peter Pan the way I love mine.

And one of me! I really don't do a great pirate face! Oh, well. It was a fun and crazy night, but it was worth it for sure.

Boo Turns Six!

Is it even possible that my little baby girl can be that old? I just love this little girl, and all the joy she brings to our family.

 

For Libby's birthday we had three parties. A friend party, a family party, and her dinner party at her favorite restaurant, Carinos.

 

For her friend party she had the choice of inviting a bunch of friends and having a Halloween party, or inviting two best friends and we would go to Jumpin Bounce! She decided on Jumpin Bounce. Much less work for me, so I didn't complain too much! So we went and jumped for a couple of hours and then came home and had cupcakes and opened presents. Simple and fun.



My cute husband and darling kids. They were having a lot of fun, and then Mike got there and the party really started!!

Belle, Boo, Morgan, and Lyndsey

Look at all those happy faces.

My guys.



Lyndsey and Boo they are best buddies, and have a blast together.

Morgan and Boo.

This is the cake from her big family party. Grandma Brenda always buys our kids cakes for their big parties. She is so awesome! Thanks Grandma Brenda! This year Libby picked an Ariel cake. This party is for all Grandparents, and Aunts and Uncles.
 

 Okay, one thing about Boo is that she is a little trickster so I thought it would be funny to use trick candles. She was pretty cute with them! Gosh, I love this little girl.

So here is a list of some of my favorite things about Boo....

1. She is the funniest kid I know! I don't think a day goes by where she doesn't make me giggle out loud.

2. She is such a good sister. Especially towards her younger brother. He worships her!

3. She has such a vibrant imagination. (Source of a lot of the giggles)

4. She loves the gospel!

5. She loves to sing!( Slightly off key, but really heartfelt)

6. This girl loves, loves, loves to cook!

7. Boo has so many friends and makes them so easily. When we go anywhere within minutes she has made friends with whoever is there.

8. Boo is a talker. There are no secrets in the Christofferson house!

9. She would live in pajamas if I let her( just liker her mom!!)

10. She gives the best hugs! (We like to call them Libby Loves)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOSTER!!!!

First Days of School

Belle started second grade this year. I can't believe that she is that old. She loves school and couldn't wait to start. She got the cute blouse in this picture from Grandma and Granddad and could not wait to wear it to school.

My little fashionista!
 

Cute as can be!

You can literally see the excitement on her face as she waits in line.

My big second grade girl

 Boo starts Kindergarten! She was soooo ready, and hated the fact that Belle got to start before her. At last the day finally arrived and she could hardly contain herself.



Boo and her friends from our ward Joseph and Lyndsey. Almost her entire primary class is in her Kindergarten class, which she was super excited for. I love Joseph's face here with the ladies.

Another cute one!
 

Boo waiting in line.

Happy Girl!

Her teacher is so cute and clever she gave each kid a Hostess cupcake at the end of the day with a paper that said "My first day of Kindergarten was a piece of cake"

My two girls.  Belle was so excited to be able to pick her sister at the end of day.

Poor Bubba was feeling a little left out, so he thought he had to get in on at least one picture. Gosh, I just love them!

It is so hard to believe that my kids are actually this big. Before I know it Bubba will be in school too! I am so happy that they love learning and that I can see them make leaps and bounds in their education. Belle reads above grade level, and Boo is already starting to read too. All three of them are so smart. I am so happy I get to be their Mommy.
