Merry Chrismukkah!
We just got our tree last night after waiting in the Home Depot line for 1.5 hours! So...it's not decorated yet, but we do have one ornament on it that Miles' aunt gave us to "merge" our holidays.

Happy Hanukkah!
Happy 4th Night of Hanukkah! When we get our tree this weekend, we can take a picture with the menorah in front of the tree!
Family Drama
Family drama...I could stand to do without it. At least it's not my side of the family! Anyway, that's what's on my mind today. The phone calls from sister-in-law, mother-in-law - Miles and I really don't need to be in the middle. Poor Miles has spent the morning apologizing to me for all of it.
On a happier note, we get to meet our new nephew on Tuesday. It will be for his bris (yuck!) - don't need to see that. However, I've never been to a bris since obviously my family doesn't do them and actually Miles' family doesn't normally either. Will post some pics next week...well...not pics of that!

An Aunt Again
I am now the happy aunt of 4. Gavin was born today and I think he's adorable. Oh, and she did it completely naturally!

Close your blinds!
I just went to close our sliding glass door that leads to our balcony. Directly across and one level down from us I was surprised to see.......
A naked woman.
Yes, she lives there with her boyfriend/husband and was in her bedroom, towel on her head, stark naked. It's dark out, lights on in the apartment...you get the picture. I would find this disturbing if I had kids. However, I thought it was kind of funny considering Miles and I leave our blinds open often, knowing that technically somebody could see us, but at the same time not caring enough to close the blinds (they're a pain). At least we only leave ours open in the living room though and not the bedroom. So, unless we're walking around our living room naked (not a common occurrence), I guess nobody would see us.

A yummy recipe
Made this tonight and it was a big hit with the whole fam (including Ryan and his girlfriend Hanna). I doubled it. Easy too.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt.
Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Garlic Cheddar Chicken
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin (I honestly didn't pound it that much)
