Halloween Party

We had a great time at our Christensen Family Halloween party this year. We ate yummy food, played fun games & laughed a lot!
This year Danny was a nerd, I was a witch, Averee was a monster bride, Adelyn was an Egyptian princess, Owen was Jack Sparrow, & Reese was a black cat.
One of the games for the kids was to see if they could put a bunch of bones together correctly to make a skeleton. They did a great job-especially Averee-she has been studying that in her science class. Next thing we know Averee says 'Look mom, look at my skeleton'. She had positioned her skeleton doing her favorite dance move-hilarious! We laughed for 5 minutes & kept that skeleton on the wall for days!
Here is the whole gang: Danny, Reese, Maren, Owen, Adee, Averee, Jason, Angie, Aiva, Lydia, Dad (Ryan), Mom (Verlene), Alesha, & Kyle.
My sister Alesha had the best costume-she was Mrs. Edward Scissorhands. She looked amazing!
My dad is not a fan of dressing up-but my mom made him at least wear a capeLater he ditched the cape for Mrs. Scissorhands wig-looking good!
Owen (Jack Sparrow) was fascinated by the homemade rootbeer. This was our first attempt at making our own-it was delish!
Averee the Monster Bride
Adee the Egyptian Princess
