pancakes

when i walked in the kitchen this morning
these two were busy.
within 3 minutes of being awake i had my camera in my hand.
(i put it down for a moment so i could make some coffee.)

annie was in the best mood.
she was talking a mile-a-minute and so happy to be with daddy.
i could tell you she has bed-head…
but this what her hair looks like all the time.

"i want to turn it on!"
can you tell she is three?
she is becoming so very independent.

do you make your pancakes in a blender?
this is the way craig has always made them…
probably because his mom did it that way.
i am pretty sure we always did bisquick growing up??
am i wrong mom?
there's nothing wrong with bisquick. i use it when craig isn't here.
maybe i should post his recipe….

this routine of pancakes with dad is special.
it's a 13 year tradition….going strong.
all the kids like to help (or did at one time) 
and of course they like to eat them.
now that we add blueberries i love to eat them too.

it makes a mess but the memories are worth it.

charlene @ lanfranchi family.blogspot - OMG! I started reading this blog 2 years ago and this was one of the first entries I read. Actually it was the first blog I ever started reading. So I remember this well. to me Annie is still this size!

Rachel / cREaTe - so cute! i grew up with my dad being “pancake man”, my grandpa also was a “pancake man” and thank goodness my husband is “pancake man”. 🙂 i agree – such a great tradition. and i can cook or bake almost anything under the sun … but i seem to screw up EVERY batch of pancakes {and i’m talking BISQUICK}.

Staci - Look how little Annie was 🙂 Ahhhhh 🙂

dinny - we do the bisquick ones, never heard of blender pancakes… curious about the recipe:)

Natalie - these pancakes look amazing!! mine are never that pretty 🙂 i’m loving your blog.. i have to be a follower!!

Bailey - Did you ever post the recipe? I’ll have to go through and look, looks like fun!

Elk Lighting - I have a brother who has done this every saturday forever. In fact now his grand kids come over and he does it with them. Special Daddy’s are the best!

Angela - That is awesome–pancakes in a blender.
