gingerbread houses

Nat and her friend Sarah took a Sunday afternoon and built their first gingerbread houses together, or should I say their mommies followed instruction and built the houses for them. They turned out to be quiet the little master pieces. Nats is still proudly being displayed on the bookcases. Rumor has it Sarah's uncle attacked hers.

Happy Thanksgiving

we had a really great thanksgiving this year. John and I have decided we are going to start our own tradition and have fun with the people who want to be around us.
Jenna flew in from Vegas and spent the holiday weekend with us. We backed a lot in to such a small weekend.
Thanksgiving day we spent the morning at the Newkirk house enjoying the annual pj breakfast they have their. Then we hoped on over to the Sigler house where we had an awesome lunch. Adam smoked a turkey in his tragger and John fried up one as well. After the lunch we headed over to John parents house where his sister cooked as well, but we were so full we didn't end up eating. It was still nice to see family though. After hanging with family we headed back to the Sigler's house, loaded up the cars and headed out to the winder wonderland at the pir. We managed to load 15 people into the Sigler's SUV and drive through. It was an interesting experience to say the least.
The day after Thankgiving Jenna and I were CRAZY and went to Walmart at 5am and got a few great deals! And it only took 2 hours to check out! LOL In the evening we went to pioneer square and wanted to see the tree lighting. Unfortunately we were misinformed on the time and we missed the lighting but still enjoyed music and hot chocolate. We then left the tree lighting and headed up to the Oregon Zoo and enjoyed the Zoo lights.
Jenna decided to change her ticket and stay and extra day and the poor girl ended up having a horrible trip home with canceled flights and bus trips and it was just a mess. But need less to say we had a great weekend and really enjoyed having her here with us for the holiday!

Silliness at the duncan house

so this is what happens when you mix a group of silly people and a few drinks! I must say we have some pretty fun friends who know how to have a good time, but not get out of hand.

Maddie has a birthday party

Maddie got to have a birthday party at our house this year! YEAH! It was a lot of fun, and I think Maddie really enjoyed having all her friends and extended family there. I managed to make her cake, and while it didn't look as nice as I wanted it to, it tasted awesome!

wow I am behind

Happy halloween!

So I have some catching up to do. Life has been so busy for the Duncan family. But I will do my best to try and catch up.

Natalia decided she wanted to be Madagascar for Halloween this year, so we went for a jungle theme with all three kids and paraded around downtown MAC.

The girls carved pumpkins with their daddy and I TRIED to get a picture of all three of them with their cute little Halloween shirts one...TRIED
