candy cane pancakes

it's christmas morning in our house and there is no shortage of smiling faces, holiday music and mimosa's going around.

the excitement over santas visit from last night is slowly subsiding as the kids take stock in all their new toys.

with stockings and presents opened, all attention is now directed to breakfast.

and obviously pancakes on are the menu today.
candy cane pancakes.
