Pretzels

January was a very busy time. We had Jeremy's parents come visit for five days, a short recovery period, and then my parents visited for three days and accompanied us to the PBR in Portland. We had a blast! Jeremy stayed in town for over two weeks during this time. As things returned to normal (in other words, all the Grandparents left and Daddy went upriver, leaving us all feeling a little "let down"), the kids and I decided to make pretzels. Ascha, our resident playdough expert, came up with the idea of making snails out of our pretzel dough. They turned out great and the kids loved having them for breakfast.
