Christian's Movie

Christian LOVES watching youtube videos of people he knows and I (Dan) figured he would like one of his own. Also, this was the first movie I've made since high school, so it was good to break me in.

The Tree!

For those of you who didn't know, Dan did the show "The Scarlet Pimpernel" at the Hale Center Theater recently. There was a guy, Kyle, who he performed with who had a fake tree he wanted to get rid of. Now, me and Dan LOVE having a real tree but for many reasons this year we didn't think it was going to happen, so we lucked out when we offered Kyle $50 bucks for the tree and he said "how about $10" we really lucked out. It was fun too because when he brought it over it was late at night so the boys were already in bed. We set it up but didn't decorate it. The next morning Christian walked out of his bedroom and we heard " (audible gasp) It's our CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!" It made us so very happy, great big thanks to Kyle for helping make such a fun magical moment.





On a side not, only the top half of the tree is decorated now, unlike this picture, because neither of them will leave it alone!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

This is what our Thanksgiving looked like this year:


The bird. We brined this baby and it was sooo tender!


The wild Turkeys out on Thanksgiving morning celebrating- there were tons of them


Wouldn't be a Duckwitz gathering without a couple of guitars and jam sessions


The adults braved the cold to take the little ones out on the 4 wheeler


Thanksgiving preparations in the cabin kitchen, I love this kitchen.


Just hanging out playing games


Kids playing in the loft


Evan's interpretation of a marshmallow, isn't he cute :)



And of course young Duckwitz grandchildren giving a little concert. They made up these songs on their own, they keep on talking about starting their own band. I think it's awesome they are so creative.
