thanksgiving in spokane

we spent thanksgiving this year with tyler's family and were able to fly over the mountains, rather than make the awful 6-hour snowy drive. i guess all of tyler's traveling has some perks...free tickets after thousands of miles! we were there just two nights, but had a lovely time. not many pictures though. i've been very lazy lately in the picture taking department. getting quite frustrated with my little digital camera...hmmm...

since we flew we were able to have a fun and yummy breakfast with my family on thanksgiving then were raced to the airport and were in the air and at melindas house in no time at all. melinda cooked up an amazing meal and i did not lift a finger...gasp! shame on me! it was quite nice though :) friday we spent the morning/afternoon in couer d'alene eating lunch, looking at boats and walking through the resort. we attempted a family photo. here are the pics:

how do you make an almost 4 year old and 2 year old smile at the same time when they're both past their naps? answer: you don't! you just stand in the middle of the hotel lobby and act like a monkey but to no avail

the denton family: riley & bjorn in the front, elizabeth, melinda, jon & tyler in the back

riley's cheesy grin and a horrible photo but she moved .2 seconds after i took this and my slow digital camera could not keep up

before we flew out on saturday we took tyler & jon's grandma arline out to breakfast to a diner their dad used to like to eat at. we got to wait for our table sitting in these awesome twirly chairs

hope your thanksgiving was delightful!
