Spokane, Thanksgiving, and Vegas!

We took a last-minute trip to Spokane with Chris and Emily, surprising Mom Hanson on her birthday with a Suburban full of family!

 

Road trip!

 

Drinks + cribbage = good times.

 

An epic family picture.  (This NEVER happens.)

We surprised Great Grandma Hanson, too!

It was a very quick weekend, but definitely worth the drive. :)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly.  Fa la la la la, la la, la, la.  (Yes, we put up the tree right before Thanksgiving because Mike had to leave for work.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Julia was all dressed up for Thanksgiving at Aunt Tiffany's house! 

BJ, MJ, and Julia.  Aw.

Cousin picture, take one.

Cousin picture, take two.

Cousin picture, take three.

Cousin picture, take four. 

And cousin picture, take five.

The littlest cousin.

Cutest.  Blink.  Ever.

Julia and Gabby!  Gabby was such a trooper, in spite of not feeling well.

Aunt Linda's adorable turkey cupcakes!

Chase made sure to label the recycle bin to avoid confusion.

Let me zoom in for you. :)

The girls!

Chase's favorite Thanksgiving event:  Christmas crafts!

 

It's a gingerbread village!

Jake, Jennifer, and Gabalicious!

Kiss kiss!

Pucker up!

That cupcake looks good enough to eat... I think.

 

Aw. 

Vegas!

We went to Vegas with Curt and Kristin to celebrate Curt's 40th birthday!

We had a LOT of fun!

We may have had a bit too much fun, but whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right? ;)
