What did your DCs have for breakfast today?

[listsandbudgets]

I bought lovely croissants, nice jams, juice and also offered sausage sandwiches...

What did ds have?? cocoa pops and jelly beans .. and i just stood by saying "have what you like, it's Christmas "

Roll with square sausage and potato scone for 3 of us.
Roll with bacon, fried egg and potato scone for ds

Ds2 had egg sandwich and hot crossbun, as per law.

Ds1 had some cinnamon buns that I froze last weekend, specially, plus an entire block of popcorn embedded chocolate.

Sausage and bacon pastry swirls, my boys asked for these to be made especially for the big day.

A bacon roll, some blueberries and half a tube of Smarties. All the food groups represented.

Bacon roll...with a side of chocolate

Dc1 who has asd and likes routine had usual cereal.
The rest of us had fruit, fresh juices and pastries.

Ds1 had a mini pack of frosties and some chocolate orange slices

Ds2 had a different mini cereal and a croissant plus sweets!

Was planning on doing a nice breakfast but was ill myself and to be honest all they ever want is mini cereal, they only ever get them for Christmas, birthdays and sometimes when travelling to a holiday.

Chocolate starter followed by smoked salmon, scrambled egg and toasted English muffins! Traditional Christmas Day breakfast for us.

Croissants, jam and berries.
The eldest also had a poached egg on a toasted muffin.

DS1 aged 13 had cereal as he literally cnt function without eating a bowl of cereal in the morning.

DS2 aged 10 had some of his selection box

They had some of the pastries, ignored the fresh fruit and had coco pops.

They had a starter of chocolate coins, fruit pastilles, and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans (🤮). Afterwards, DD1 had scrambled eggs on an English muffin having rejected the smoked salmon (declared it disgusting, despite happily eating if many times before), and DD2 ate just the smoked salmon after deciding the eggs and muffin were inedible (no idea why, she usually eats them). DCs were the perfect pairing - no waste as they swapped plates for the bits the other wouldn't eat.

Watermelon and strawberries.

One of our Christmas day traditions is that you can request anything that we have in the house for breakfast(within a reason as I can’t produce roast beef on demand)

DS 1 ate half a watermelon ((and spent whole morning running to the toilet)

DS2 had strawberries.

I remember DS1 as a toddler requesting Jaffa cakes for Christmas breakfast and being absolutely shocked when he got them (about 3, not a whole box)

@skankingpiglet haha,that’s my kids!
I remember making sausage pasta bake in tomato sauce. Both like all ingredients but DS1 ate sausages leaving pasta,DS2 ate pasta leaving sausages. They swapped the plates and I rolled my eyes 🙂

Croissants with Nutella and Bucks Fizz here. Plus, plenty of chocolate and sweets. I think DS3 age 9 had eaten an entire huge jelly bear before 8am.

Smoked salmon blinis, because she didnt get up till 12.40. M

One of the teens made banana bread on Christmas Eve and brought everyone a slice in bed with coffee (with the option of rum butter spread on it!).

DC1 shreddies, DC2 buttered toast and a massive banana shared between them. Pretty much same as every day. They both had a bit of chocolate too. Neither of them are interested in fancy breakfast items, especially as I insist on everyone being dressed and breakfasted before I will consider opening any presents...

Toasted pannetone with chocolate spread

Yogurt drinks, peaches, toast.

Yesterday, pain au chocolat and croissant.

Bacon sandwiches and chocolate orange - all the essential food groups!

Variety pack, chocolate, bacon sarnies! I bought jus rol pain au chocolat but we didn’t do them.

Sausage barms and selection box chocolates

2 year old granddaughter was eating chocolate coins before she even went downstairs my daughter managed to get her to eat a ham and cheese omelette by following her around and giving her a forkful while she was playing with her presents. Then it was straight back to the chocolate.
