There are a few annual traditions that just have to happen at the Denney house every year. Back to School Breakfast ranks up there on the "important traditions" list. This year our playgroup has grown to 18 children--ages three weeks to almost 11 years old. All but Baby August begin new school years in the next few days. Four years ago, we decided back to school was reason to celebrate, and armed with menu ideas from my inlaws' rv park experiences, Back to School Breakfast was born. Mary and Laura were getting ready for kindergarten. Diana was entering second grade. Like most traditions, food plays an important role in the event. We have omletes and monkey bread. Everyone brings omelet toppings to share. We each "personalize" our omlete in a ziploc baggie, and Steve and John professionally boil the omelets in the baggies to perfection. Monkey bread consists of frozen white bread dough, real butter, cinnamon and sugar. Enough said, right? Today's celebration was a huge success. Laura put together this video of the fun!
