Thanksgiving in Yakima

We went to Yakima to spend Thanksgiving with the family. We also got to meet the newest addition to the family... Copper!

Turkey looks good!

Seattle trip and Seahawks game

We went to Seattle for the weekend. Nick's company (Bellevue Health Care) takes all employees to a Seahawks game every year, and we decided to make a weekend of it. Our friends Christie and Mark went to Seattle that weekend as well, so we met up with them too.

Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous view of Elliot's Bay


Posing on Harbor Steps


We didn't plan to both wear stripes


Mark and Christie. Don't fall Mark!


Beautiful sunny day


The boys chilling...


Christie loves the penguin


Christie and Mark at the Crab Pot


Excuse me... I'm trying to eat a pile of crab!


Night stroll


We're so cheesy!


View from our hotel at night

Fresh fruit and veggies at Pikes Place


The best seafood


Market flowers


Street performing Johnny Hahn. He's a staple in Seattle and is special for Jamie to see him each time. When Jamie was little she can remember listening to him with her dad, who passed away in 2001. He plays piano and sings songs... mostly political songs. Jamie's dad bought one of his CD's about 20 years ago, and Jamie still has it. What a cherished memory. 


Of course you'll find a mini car in Seattle


Nick says the car is thiiiiiiiiis big!


Jamie adding to the famous gum wall in Seattle


Ewe.. don't touch the wall!


Tailgating before the Seahawks game


Nick and the boys


Oh Ryan... always with the poncho

Oh yeah... the famous garlic fries.


We love those fries!

Nick went to high school with Kyle, so it was fun to catch up.

Tom in town

Tom is a pilot, and just so happened to have a layover in Spokane. Tom is married to Erin (Aunt Lynn and Uncle Del's daughter). It was great spending a little time with him.

Tom loves the wings at The Globe, so we met him there.


Nick, Tom, and Jamie


The party moved to The Onion for dessert... deep fried Oreos!
