merry christmas!

lori posted a link to that recipe for pretzel chicken and we made it a few days ago. our plan for today was to have brunch after the pageant rehearsal, but cassie really wanted that chicken -- again! -- so we had a second round of pretzel chicken for lunch. the kitchen was standing room only as the kids stood there waiting for the chicken to come out of the fryer. it was just as good the second time around.

there's a roast in the slow-cooker for dinner after mass tonight. tomorrow we'll have a big breakfast (the brunch that was planned for today -- spinach and mushroom quiche, baked hash browns, biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon, fruit).

the rest of the day will have a pirate theme. we're planning to watch all three pirates of the carribean movies and play the pirates constructible strategy game. we'll be eating appetizers all day with tiny swords, and the adults will be drinking rum (of course).

the christmas cards still have not been mailed, but when they are, you'll find a link to the online christmas letter. christmas came way too fast this year.

hope yours is peaceful and pleasant.

Merry Christmas! You should really consider being a party planner, you have the BEST ideas. Who else would have thought to eat with swords?
