It's Christmas Time you mean I have to make Breakfast too?

Oh come on you think I wouldn't give you some breakfast recipes for Christmas morning. Oh yea of little faith! My boys are picky eaters and breakfast sometimes can be a pain in the behind! So when you're fed up with making eggs every morning like me try out a few of these pretty cool recipes. Not only do they look cool they are a good breakfast to get the kids and you of course you have to taste and have one also! A good breakfast can do wonders!

I start us off with one of my favorite characters this time of year. Yes love him on TV and in books NOT in my yard. Well that is I'm not a fan of snow, but if it does happen of course I'll have one in my front yard. I of course would prefer this inside my house!

And the one recipe that I just think is too freaking cute! For my turkey lover that always says the pigs are too cute to eat, check this out ... LOL just playing! What a great way to get the kids to important parts of their diet, fruit, nuts and bread. Love a well balanced meal, and you didn't have to go to a high priced restaurant to get a cute pancake. Yup I avoid leaving the house with my kids at all cost .. you know until they are in college ... LOL

Enjoy!!

  5. Those look SO cute, and I could SO see you making these for Cole and Caden, because you are an awesome mommy!!
    I usually just stick to Mickey Mouse pancakes and waffles. That is what I made Christmas morning, Mickey waffles with strawberries and whipped cream.
    Thanks for the other ideas... love to you, Rick and the boys!!
