Christmas break started yesterday, although I still have homework due to my hospital stint last month. This year Matt is staying with us instead of going to Montana. It's both a blessing and unfortunate, I love having him here but I wish he could be with his family. It's a full house now that Matt and I are here. The total is 6 people, 4 cats, 1 dog, and a lot of stuff. Tension is running a little high as you can imagine. Christmas music and a fully decorated Christmas tree make it a little easier.
Tomorrow I'm having a Christmas/Birthday bash, mostly so people have reason to all be in one place and catch up rather than trying to schedule coffee dates with everyone. That being said I'm cooking for almost 20 and cleaning to have a presentable house. I'm tired. Tonight I made my usual schezuan chicken noodle dish, that's for you Leah Marie, and my all time favorite seasoned pretzels, thanks to Carolyn Noack introducing me to them years ago. Tomorrow will be full of more cleaning and clam chowder before everyone arrives around 6. Here are some fun shots of the process...
