Lots of shapes, and lots of fun memories.<\/p>\n<p>Last month the kids and I went to visit my parents for a couple of days while Dave studied for finals. While we were there my dad made pancake shapes again for us. It was fun to see Bridget get excited about it like I did as a kid. Grandpa made her a butterfly, I tried my hand at a train, and Bridget got to make a smiley face (with assistance, of course). It was a fun blast from the past for me and a tradition I think I&#8217;ll have to carry on at home&#8230; at least every once in awhile.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks Dad for the fun and yummy breakfast! We love you.<\/p>\n<p><em>P.S. His pancake recipe is pretty awesome too!
