Christmas Breakfast Cake

We have many Christmas Traditions here at The Cottonwood House!

We thought we would share one of our Favorites with You. 

Christmas Breakfast Cake 

Every Christmas Morning our Kids, (and now their kids!) line up Youngest to Oldest, and one by one walk into the living room to see what Santa has brought them! Each squeal makes our kids that are patiently waiting their turn more and more anxious to see what their siblings received, and to see what is waiting for them! 

As wrapping paper is thrown every which way, the aroma of Christmas Breakfast Cake fills our home! Our children always count down the minutes until this delicious cake is done baking. 

Our Oldest Daughter, Stephani, with our Twin Girls, Elizabeth and Emily. 

Each Child opens their presents individually, to make the joy and excitement of Christmas morning last just a little longer! 

Finally when the presents are unwrapped, the colorful wrapping paper and shiny bows are thrown away, (and my husband and I are ready for a nap!) its time for breakfast! 

So without Further Ado...
