Happy Mother's Day!
Today has been an amazing day. Started with a dozen, beautiful mixed colored roses and a giant balloon.
I have never had a giant balloon before - very sweet.
My husband and the girls made me a phenomenal breakfast...better than any brunch buffet you could order up. The very impressive menu included freshly made fruit salad, cinnamon muffins, German pancakes, bacon, hash browns and finished it off with Eggs Benedict. Absolutely delicious at every level. The best part was I didn't have to cook or do any of the dishes.
After breakfast we watched Frozen in our pajamas, which was fitting since it started snowing last night and hasn't stopped. Then it was a full relaxing day of even more movies, snuggling in blankets, 2 naps and a little bit of laundry to get the week started. All in all, a terrific Mother's Day that couldn't have been better.
On special weekends back in California we had a favorite restaurant that served German pancakes. I was so grateful when my grandmother gave me a recipe for the exact pancake...love these treats!!!
