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!

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! 



3 Cups Flour
2 TBS Baking Powder
1 Cup Sugar 
A Pinch of Salt 
1 Cup Shortening 
1/3 Cups Milk 
2 Eggs

Mix together Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar, and Salt.
Add Milk and Eggs. 
Blend Well. 
Pour into GREASED 9"X11" Pan.

8 TBS Flour 
12 TBS Sugar 
6 TBS Butter 
1 TSP Cinnamon 
1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
Combine together and mix well. Sprinkle on top of batter.

Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until center is done. 

ENJOY!

Our children: Stephani, Elizabeth, Emily, Camela, 
Jeremiah, Samantha, Allae, and Autumn (Christmas 1996)
