our new thanksgiving tradition might be to not have a tradition.
ever since living in nyc, and experiencing thanksgiving in different
ways, we've found that we like non-traditional thanksgivings. this
year we went with good friends to the grand america in slc. fan-cy!

we lingered long after everyone left, no surprise. the blacks,
the andersons(x2), leslie deucher and lots and lots of children!

devri, madeline, sailor, hayden, nic, and quinn

boston with his fancy dessert

the big girls table...............devri, madeline, sailor, and skylar

our friends stayed the night, here's the view from their room

the hallways were filled with fancy gingerbread houses.
the kids looooved looking at them. okay, i did too!



we found a piano in a quiet hallway, quinn played away. the
girls (and passer-bys) were very interested (he's amazing).

the boys, were boys. wrestling as quietly as they could.
brighton was smiling so big, she couldn't close her mouth!
.
we raided the lobby, where one sweet little old man was sitting.
i don't think he knew what hit him! kids were everywhere.
we had a fun night of games at shayne's house. can't wait to
see what next year brings......maybe a stay-at-home year?!
