Our family tradition is to have a special breakfast to celebrate birthdays. Usually we end up having breakfast for dinner since another tradition in our family is that mom isn’t a morning person.
I wanted to get a picture of all of us together so I was trying to figure out the self timer on my camera. I got a bunch of photos with heads cut off, but I especially liked this one that caught Calvin running to make it into the frame before the flash went off. Nice lion’s mane, buddy.
Our menu for this breakfast/dinner was French toast made with baguettes, fresh peaches and whipped cream, bacon, and homemade watermelon mint sorbet. Our birthday breakfast/dinners *always* have bacon and *always* have whipped cream. We bought the bacon on sale so it only cost $12 for a 1lb package. Not for organic free range house raised hand-fed painlessly killed thick-cut guilt free applewood smoked bacon. Just normal Oscar Meyer bacon that we bought from the “No Muslims” pork room at the grocery store. Yes, there is an actual room that contains all pork or pork related products (like Pop Tarts and Jello!) and it really does say “No Muslims” at the entrance.
By the time I figured out the timer it was time to eat so I just snapped this one of Josh and the boys before they dove in. Who knew 7 could taste this good?
My new 7 year old with my new 1 year old. She’s shrugging him off because she wants to EAT. Mmmm, bacon.
