Thanksgiving Madness

We had a great Thanksgiving Donahoo and Hilyer style, and we didn't burn anything. There was quite a bit of smoke coming out of the oven, but nothing burned which was probably a first. I think the Donahoo women are known to be a little bit "airheaded" at times and usually the rolls are burned. I stole a few pictures off my sister's blog since I didn't take any pictures. Pregnancy has made me really lazy about taking pictures and documenting moments. I guess that's good in a way or I would have 50 photo albums before the new baby even came. These pictures aren't the greatest because Will has become very stingy with his smiles.
We are decorating for Christmas right now and maybe I'll get around to taking a few pictures!

Little Indian

Will had a Thanksgiving Dinner at Miss Theresa's house on Friday and he had this little Indian headress on when I picked him up. He looked so cute and kept it on for quite awhile, which was suprising to me. Teresa said he wouldn't have anything to do with the vest. That didn't suprise me at all. They also made this adorable little Thanksgiving scene and the teacher in me just had to get it laminated and made into a placemat. I hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving. We have SO much to be thankful for. My brother arrived home safely yesterday. This was his third and final tour to Iraq and we feel so blessed that he made it home safely three times. All of your prayers meant so much!

The last of the Halloween pictures.....

On Monday night, Will helped Len carve our pumpkin. Len cut his finger but the pumpkin turned out good. Will chose to do the silly face.

When can I have the carving knife?

The finished product!! Pardon the bare feet. Will keeps taking his socks and shoes off these days.

Trunk or Treat at BHCC. We are terrible parents because this is the only picture we got of Will on Halloween. It's really hard to get pictures when you have an active child who doesn't want to be in pictures. He DID NOT want to wear his costume. I had to bribe him with the little candy corn pumpkins and I still couldn't get him to put the hat on. I guess Halloween isn't going to be his big thing. He loved Trunk or Treat though. He got lots of candy and actually kept it in his bag this year! We enjoyed getting to see all of the precious little children and Will's friends. We at chili and hot dogs and played at church for awhile and then went home to the grim reaper (our neighbor who dress up as the grim reaper every year and scares the children to death, although Will wasn't scared at all). We went to a few of our neighbors' houses and Will was in bed by 8!

We're glad Halloween is over and can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!!!!! We will find out what baby #2 at the beginning of December and are very excited!! I'm starting to feel much, much better so this is a good time around our household.. When mama's not happy, no one is! ha ha

This is what happens when I don't get a nap...

I'm asleep on the couch at 4:30 in the afternoon.....
