Thanksgiving

We had a great time with all of David's family in San Antonio! There were 16 of us all in one house! We ate a ton of food and watched a lot of football!!! On Black Friday all the girls, plus Will, went shopping. We left the house about 10 a.m. and didn't return until around 11 that night! Will was such a trooper. Here is at lunch with all the girls:

That evening, all of the guys met us at La Hacienda for some great mexican food and live music. Will was quite the ham. After scarfing down a grilled cheese and french fries, he stood up in his high chair to take some pictures of everyone at the table.

Here are some of his pictures he took -- not bad for a 22 month old!!!!


And, since shopping all day from his stroller didn't wear him out, he was ready for some dancing!!!

When we got back to the house around 11 p.m. he decided he would play some craps with the guys before going to bed.

Once he went to sleep, he was OUT -- and slept until almost 10 the next morning!

In the News...

Well, maybe not the NEWS....but Will was in the newspaper! This is one of my favorite pictures of him and the local paper printed it this past Saturday!

Addiction???

I have always bragged on what an easy baby Will has been. He transitioned to each stage so well. He was easy to wean, easy to take off the bottle, easy to sleep and nap.

With that being said, I think taking away the pacifier is going to be an all-out war!!! What do you think -- would you say he has an addiction?

Texas Tech vs. Texas game

The biggest home game of the year, so far!!! And, unless you have been under and extremely large rock, you know that Tech pulled this one off and climbed up to #2!!!!!

David and his co-workers put together a GREAT tailgate for everyone....I think everyone enjoyed the pre and post celebration!!!! Especially Will and his friend, Brant.

Will finished his busy weekend with fixing Aunt Carrie's hair for her, and eating donuts with Uncle Lesley before they went back to Aledo!

Halloween at School

Will had a Halloween party at school. I was able to go and was so happy that I could "document" his first school party. Here is Will with all of his friends enjoying the several snacks:

Here is a few minutes later....his friends are finishing up and Will is still going:

And in a few more minutes -- Will is still going, and everyone else is gone:

And still one more...now the ENTIRE class is done except for Will -- he didn't eat THAT much -I think he just took his time!!!!

Here are a few others I took while I was there - I think he likes his school and his friends:

Will and his favorite teacher, Emily, although Will calls her "Emmy"

Will's best friend at school, Beau:

Halloween at Home

Halloween was an argument at our house. David wanted Will to be Darth Vader and I was against it. Will has no idea who Darth Vader is, and he kept grabbing the lion costumes and loving on them. At the last minute, Daddy agreed to a lion. After finding one on E-Bay, it arrived ON Halloween. It is a good thing that we didn't invest much money in the costume....Will was the cutest lion EVER...for about 12 minutes!!!!

Will's Grammy and Papa came to see him and brought him the most amazing gift!!! His Papa made him his very own table with benches. The benches are different heights so it will grow with him. He loved it!!!!!

What a sweet note Papa added under the drawer:

On the Road Again - Aledo, Texas!

Will's Uncle Lesley and Aunt Carrie bought a new house in Aledo. We decided to go and check it out and watch the Tech and Kansas St. game with them. Their house is gorgeous!!!!

It is just enough outside of town to make Lesley feel as though he is back in West Texas - just a tad. It even comes complete with goats next door!!!

We had a great time visiting with them. Will enjoyed their big backyard, a wonderful park near their house, and of course, a trip to Cabela's.

As you can see from the pictures - I think everyone enjoyed the park!!!
