Birthday Breakfast

With the tribe of little people quickly growing in our family, the morning gathering is fast becoming a favourite. This time the occasion was Grandma's birthday, and Grandma being the orignal Horizontal Hostess we made certain that - despite the fact that we all descended on her home - she would be feet up and not fussing in the kitchen.



Dishes were delegated - the hot breakfast bbq to Pop, fruit to Adam and Debbie, yoghurt from Helen, and fresh baked items fell to me. (Note to self: do not offer to get up early and whip up muffins if there are plans for cocktails with a girlfriend the night before!).



It was a very successful birthday celebration, and since the Queensland heat has finally arrived in true form, everyone ended up in the pool after a lengthy breakfast.



I strongly recommend breakfast or brunch to anyone planning a gathering that includes young children. They (and therefore you) are up early anyway, so get together, eat, drink (champagne goes very well with breakfast) and play. After a few hours you can wrap it up and still have the rest of the day free... perfect if you are longing for a kindy nap.
