My friend Tara was so thoughtful to take these photos during our Holiday Hotcakes Christmas Breakfast this year. We're always too busy flipping pancakes to actually take pictures, so these are a real treasure to have! Thanks, Tara!

We had about 100 friends and neighbors filter through over about 3.5 hours, and thanks to my husband's hard work, and lots of helping hands, it was such a breeze!
The crowd favorite again this year were the fruit toppings and whipped cream!
Note to self...forget the syrup and double-up on the fruit toppings!
What a wonderful Christmas gift for your friends and neighbors and what a great memory.
