Christmas at The Davenport

So every year the Davenport hotel, in downtown Spokane, has a christmas tree auction. Companies decorate trees with all kinds of gifts. One tree had and ipad and a hot air ballon ride among many other things. This was our first year going to this event, and let me tell you it was so much fun! first you buy a raffle ticket, or two, or three, or four! As many as you want. then you write your name on it and decided what tree you would like to win! I think there was 14 trees this year. Each tree has a big glass box by it and thats where you put your ticket. The hotel lets people put tickets in the boxes for a few weeks. And then a week or so before christmas they draw the winner for each tree! its really neat because not only do you when the prizes, but you also win the christmas tree, decorations and all! Sadly to say we did not win anything this year. below are some pics of the fun time we had!

This is our friends the McIntires!
