Merry Christmas Pancakes

Merry Christmas Eve! I can't believe it's here! The year has flown by. All the preparation and anticipation and it's finally here. My kids are bouncing they are so excited!

I haven't done my blogging justice this holiday season. With both of my kids getting sick and me falling we haven't done nearly as much holiday activities as we normally do. So you'll have to trust me when I say we love Christmas and everything about Christmas! The house is decorated, Christmas music is playing in the car. We've watched hours of Christmas movies and eaten our fair share of Christmas cookies. We all have on our Christmas socks (yep, the super soft fuzzy ones!) and hot chocolate (with candy canes as stir sticks) have been a staple for breakfast every morning. So it shouldn't surprise anyone who knows me that I would own Christmas pancake molds.

Have you ever heard of pancake molds? They are pretty cool. We have other pancake molds as well (a heart, dinosaur, flower...) But these ones are super cool!

If you have never seen them they truly are quite clever. You might be thinking, why go to all that trouble just for a pancake? Well read on and you'll see.

First you have to spray them really good with cooking spray. Trust me on this one!

Then fill them with pancake batter.

When they get all bubbly, slowly remove the molds.

How stinkin' cute are those?!?!

This was my first one I made. It didn't turn out as cool as the others but sadly, they were eaten so fast I didn't get a picture.

But even though, they are cute, right???

My kids loved them! And what better breakfast on Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas! We hope you and your family have an amazing holiday! Here's to new adventures and discoveries and lots of laughter in 2011!
