Ha! That kinda sounds like a hokey Christmas action film doesn't it? Well that's kinda how life has been the last week or so. Mom's Annual Christmas Open House was last Sunday and it was a dousy! We were nose to the gristmill for 2 weeks to pound out the finishing details for the party. Mom's new-old house was glistening in it's Christmas glory and the community showed up to check it out and eat to their hearts content. I will say that the "Italian" inspired theme this year turned out some pretty amazing food. I was a pizza baking machine during the party. It was tough to navigate around all the people and shoes, but I think it all turned out grand.
Mom & Dad Keenan came north late Saturday afternoon and we had a little Christmas Sunday morning with them before the party. It was nice to just relax for a moment, have breakfast and open presents. I made fritatta and Mike whipped up some of his soon to be famous sweet potato home fries for breakfast. Mmmmm, they are yummy! Mike got some of the hunting things he had wanted and I got some perfume and several other wonderful presents. Momma K was an awesome party prepper as well during their quick visit. She came over to Mom's both Saturday and Sunday to help. She also did some very important sewing on a Christmas/Birthday present she was transporting to New Hampshire for us. Let me just say, they turned out great and I hope Christy loves them!
We also had a Cooking Divas christmas party last Friday. It was a very nice dinner out (with the hubbies) at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids. Besides the snotty waiter we had, it was a super fun evening. Had some delicious food, yummy wine and we really enjoyed our company. It was neat seeing the cozy Inn in the winter.
Looking forward to a couple of days off and a lovely holiday : )
