French Toast Casserole

I started a new tradition this Christmas and brought French toast casserole to our family's Christmas. Usually R wakes up early and gets us Shipley's but things have changed now. My immediate family and I head to my parent's house and the kids enjoy what Santa brought to Nana and Papa's house. Sadie now brings the donuts and we eat breakfast and open gifts. Can't wait for next Christmas with Walkie there.
