The Donleys: 2009

Some Great Holiday Pictures

It starts with Crab Fest and the fact that my girls are learning from the best. Daddies pile is the biggest, but the girls are doing well.

Loren and Cora love music and they were doing their best on Christmas day. My favorite is her outfit!

I decided to follow Loren down the stairs to see her Santa expression. It was anti-climatic to say the least. She was more interested in what Santa got Cora and Daddy (which is a quality I admire). It was a really great day of giving and being grateful!

So the next video is Cora loving her musical chair that Santa brought her...pretty funny...and the final video is my dear daughter Cora playing her harmonica in the dark...I have great kids.

Cousins Night and Day of Fun

Abby and the girls had a sleep over. Then, they made blue cookies...well, ate the dough. Finally, Davis came over for Grandma and Pa to babysit, so the parent could go out. Much fun!!!

Early Christmas

We spent our time with the Donleys doing our Christmas with the Magees. Pa dressed up like Rudolph and passed out a few gifts. It was great and full of memories!

Christmas Eve Skating

Aunt Stephenie, Uncle Jim, Loren and I went skating, carousel riding and movie watching and it was fun. We all worked our magic when it came to our skating. We won't be going to the US Olympic Trials for two reasons: 1, we can't afford a ticker and 2, we suck! Thanks Aunt Steph!

CHRISTMAS VIDEO

Loren and Cora are working on their schtick. We will see how far it takes us. But, pretty stinkin' cute.

More Thanksgiving Weekend Fun

Mom shopped and got all her shopping done, the decorating done, the wrapping done and Santa Pictures done! We went to go see Christmas Carol in 3D, and the girls loved it.

It has been a while, but we will start with Thanksgiving

The weekend started with Daddy killing his deer. It was small, but he promised himself he would kill the first legal on he saw, so he could be home to help with dinner.

Next, dinner. We had a crew. 16 for dinner and it was fabulous. Friends, family and all we love enjoyed dinner and more. But that wasn't the end of the fun!

Mixed Blessings

Cora has a new talent. I am not sure if I should be happy or fearful. If she can get in, you know she can get out. Either way, it is pretty funny and quite ingenious.

Thank you for buying the junk!

More pictures to come, but these are the first. Thank you so much for buying all the stuff because Loren was one of 14 top sellers in her school. Sonic Burrito and a limo ride. She had so much fun, and she felt pretty special. Way to go, Loren.

Halloween 2009

Loren wanted to be a vampire because she was tired of being "something girly" and she decided Cora should be d'Yoda as she calls her.

I really like this picture...the Vampire is trying to 'get' Yoda.

Yoda has almost had enough candy.

YaYa and Loren went trick or treating while Cora stayed with the moms. Yoda really liked the light saber.

More Canddddyyy...Mama, more cannndddyyy.

The girls and the family...GiGi and King. Auntie, Cousin Kellen and Erin and Mr. Chad.

The girls trick or treatin at family while Cora starts to figure it out.

Yup, she clearly has figured it out.

I've been caught...what I am not supposed to ear it now?

Loren and her K teacher, Ms. Ray. Ms. Ray makes her basement into a scary witch room and invites all her students down. She had eye balls, guts, brains and ears in a bag and freaked the kids out.
