Since we had not made waffles in what seemed like an eternity, we decided that there was no time like the present to break out the waffle maker and rectify that situation!

This past week Dave came home from work with a gingerbread house. The husband of one of the women that Dave works with is the lucky recipient of a gingerbread house from one of his patients every year. This year since they already had one they decided to send this one our way! It was really beautiful, and we spent the rest of the week enjoying the sight of it. Last night, after some delicious creamy baked pumpkin risotto, we decided to open the box and try it out. It tasted as good as it looks!
This morning, as we had breakfast we discussed what it was we wanted to do today. Dave suggested that we take a drive and check out The Gingerbread Construction Company. It sounded like a good idea to the girls and I, so we finished our breakfast, got ready and headed out on our adventure of the day.

Every Sunday Morning, Dave and his sous chefs make pancakes for breakfast. Since we have so many blueberries frozen from our wonderful blueberry picking adventure this past summer, they have been making blueberry pancakes the past few weeks. There is just something about the combination of fresh blueberries and real maple syrup that really hits the spot! Not only does it make for a deliciously filling meal, but it also provides a reminder of the fun that we had over the summer picking all these beautiful berries!
Some weeks we have chocolate chip pancakes, or banana chocolate chip pancakes, or sometimes they just leave them plain. No matter what treats they include in the batter, they always come out perfect in the end. Dave likes to think that it's due in part to his trusty spatula, circa 1970.
The flowers on the table are a welcome bit of spring during this crazy cold spell we are having here in New England. They were a lovely surprise from Dave last week!
And this is the picture that confirmed what Grace had been telling us for days: She was in desperate need of a haircut! Dave being the hearty New Englander he is, decided that after breakfast they would suit up and head out to get her a haircut (complete with lollipop). What a good Daddy he is!
We hope that your Sunday finds you tucked safely inside, with good food and lots of fun family time.
