It's a BOY!

We found out this morning that we are having a baby BOY! He did not want to cooperate and was in a little ball at the bottom of my belly so we did not get to see any pictures of his face but he was still adorable!

Halloween!

Emma was a pumpkin and had a blast going "trunk-or-treating" and playing all of the fun carnival games at the ward party! We decided to paint eachothers faces at the face painting booth. Don’t we look good!

We went to the arboretum with Emma's preschool and had a blast!

Emma loves playing with and eating her candy!

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

Daddy took the day off for Emma's 2nd birthday and we had a fun day, minus a few melt downs... We took Emma to a Mexican restaurant and got some guacamole for our chips because Emma loves it! Well, she would not dip her chips in the guacamole. She had to eat right out of the bowl with a fork! We tried to take it away but that ended in melt down number one. We figured it was her birthday so let her eat right out of the bowl. We had a party jut with mommy and daddy this year. Emma loved opening her presents. It is fun to see your kids get older and enjoy the simple things so much! She wanted to try on all of the beautiful dresses her grandma Clark sent her and mid trying them on she had melt down number two. I am not sure what brought this melt down on but non the less this was the biggest of the day. We had yummy cake and ice cream and Emma loved us singing to her and blowing the candles out. We cannot believe we have a two year old and another on the way!

Emma's face is so cute in this video. She's so happy and then she touches the hot candle wax...

'Tis the Season!

Luke and I LOVE Christmas! We have a tradition of putting the Christmas tree up on Nov. 1st, the day after Halloween. We feel like the Christmas season is far to short! It is amazing what a different feeling and spirit your home has to it with the Christmas tree and decorations up. We have been listening to Christmas music for months now and are excited for the holiday season to start!

First Annual Christensen Halloween Party!

We wanted to start the tradition of having a big Halloween Party with all of our friends. We had a good turnout and a lot of fun! Costumes were "required" and everyone looked great! We sent our guests on a scavenger hunt all over the town. They had to go to the mall and completely eat a pretzel before the cashier would give them the next clue. They then had to get their picture taken with several different things in the mall, go to a store to buy a pumpkin, make a 3 point shot a a basketball court, etc. It was a lot of fun! We had yummy nachos and pie to top it off. The scavenger hunt winners were Amy and Kendell and the costume contest winners were Jeremiah and Alisha. They each won a $25 gift cards to Christina's Mexican restaurant. We all had a blast and are looking forward to next year!

Pumpkin Patch

Emma had a blast at the pumpkin patch last week. She absolutely LOVES pumpkins. I would definitely say they are a borderline obsession of hers. I have also posted the pictures from when she went to the fire station with her preschool group. She loved sitting in the big trucks! She didn't like the fireman with his mask on but with his mask off he wasn't so scary. We feel so lucky to have such great friends to do such fun things with!
