New Year's Day Birthday Brunch

{the birthday boys}

my dad and ryan's birthday often gets passed by quickly with all the other activities and holidays that surround their new year's day birthdays.

this year we wanted to make sure we had at least a small celebration with a 
new year's day birthday brunch.

complete with bagel bar, yogurt bar, brioche, muffins, frittata, maple bacon, mimosas, 
and of course a donut cake!
we we're eating "brunch" all day long! 

i think everyone had a great time especially the boys who were eating donuts before any of the guests arrived. and ryan didn't even have to take a nap because it's was his birthday!

happy happy birthday daddy and ryan!

ps. donuts are an awesome bribery tool for little children to smile for the camera :)
