BRUNCH, BABY!!

So, this morning I am hosting a brunch here for all the women in the church with new babies. There have been nine babies born to Trinity since November, including two sets of twins. My friend Charlotte is bringing up the rear, with her little boy Roeland due in just a couple weeks. I thought it would be fun to have everyone over during our normal playgroup time but step it up a notch with some yummy foods. I got up at five to start cooking...I had the good intentions of starting last night after the kiddos went to bed...but you know what they say about good intentions. Baby B didn't settle down until almost 11, so there went that. But I digress...
So, for the mommies I am making:
-French Toast Casserole
-Parfait Bar (vanilla yogurt, fresh berries, honey, and homemade granola)
-Muffins
-Mimosas, hot tea, and coffee

For the kidlets:
-mini muffins (UPDATE: scratch the mini muffins, I just burned those. oops)
-orange or apple juice
-fresh fruit (bananas, apples, strawberries, and grapes)
-fruit dip (marshmellow creme and cream cheese)
-goldfish
-yogurt cups

Should be yummy!! Also, I am setting up stations for all the kids. For the big kids we will have a dress up station, legos, bubbles on the back porch, coloring/finger paint, etc. For the babies, the different stations will include a playmat, swing, and bouncy seat! Should be fun!!
