A Breakfast For Dinner Christmas Party

by - Friday, December 21, 2012

We had our second annual Pancakes & Pajamas party last night to celebrate my brother's birthday. This has to be my most favourite tradition... my immediate family (parents, siblings, and their kids) gather at my house the week before Christmas. We all put on our pajamas and indulge in hot chocolate sipping, gingerbread house building, and a delicious breakfast for dinner spread.





We enjoyed this baked egg dish; this make-ahead deep dish blueberry French toast; cupcakes (using our all-time favourite cake recipe) and other yummy dishes. But aside from all the good food and sugary treats, what I love most is to spend some quality time with my family just, well, being a family. The older I get, the more I appreciate the rare moments like this when we're all together and get to enjoy each other's company.

I'm looking forward to more of these moments over the next week. I hope your days are filled with the same.

    Does your site have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to send you an e-mail.
    I've got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

    Breakfast for dinner is the BEST! Applewood smoked bacon and Canadian Apple Pancake hot from the oven. That's our traditional breakfast for dinner spread.
