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.

ReplyDeleteBreakfast for dinner is the BEST! Applewood smoked bacon and Canadian Apple Pancake hot from the oven. That's our traditional breakfast for dinner spread.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. Hope you get to enjoy some of that over the holidays. Season's greetings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Not much beats breakfast for dinner! I like your little hot chocolate bar.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kelly. Happy holidays to you.
