Duke Family Reunion

Kiernan and Jarrad had a little cupcake war going on! I didn't notice how the carpet fared!

Adam, the Chef and bartender, had everyone mesmerized tonight by all the fancy and unique items he served up! One thing not pictured were gel-coated mojito drops. They burst in your mouth! In this picture, he is literally blowing smoke out of his nose after eating a cheese ball soaked in liquid nitrogen! Unfortunately, I had a difficult time capturing the dragon-like smoke!But here's a picture of Heather just after she put it in her mouth! It was amazing to watch the smoke come out of everyone's noses once they closed their mouths!
Adam's finace, Ellen, made delicious cupcakes and icing and allowed the kids to decorate their own! Logan said that Chase ate 5 of them!

This is his version of gin and tonic! Some type of gel on top of a sliced lime and sprinkled with powdered sugar! Adam's version of s'mores. It was pureed graham crackers covered in chocolate. Then he stuck some type of noodle through it to make it look like a bomb and lit it on fire. You could eat it as soon as the fire went out!
Everyone watching the s'mores "bomb".
Sienna had a good time decorating her cupcakes too! She is so shy. I'm determined that she will like me before the week is over! :) That's her dad, Chris, with her!
I know it's hard to believe that Chase enjoyed the cupcakes! He said that he won the cupcake mustached contest, and I think he did!
Jennifer and Tami stirred the icing for the cupcaked until their arms were sore!

More astonished viewers at the bar!
Adam also made some rockin' Frozen Margaritas with the liquid nitrogen. They were smoother than sorbet! This is him making them. The silver bowl to the right is filled with saurkraut chips that he actually made out of pureed saurkraut!

Grandma played for us for a while! I love it when she plays! I feel so blessed that she is in our lives!
Reagan tries to blow the smoke out of her nose, but I think she waited too long to put the cheese ball in her mouth! There was not time for hesitation! I didn't try it because it was a little too freaky for me!
Our three kids with Heather's four! What a group, huh? All seven years and under!
