Pancake Tuesday

Today, Pancake Tuesday, we (sans Andrew who was under the weather) went to my Mom and Dad's for our annual pancake supper. We've been going there every year since we moved back home. I look forward to it every year. Not only for the time we spend with family, but the fun of picking our pancakes and seeing what we get in them. Yes, Mom still puts the little treasures in the pancakes for us. There were buttons (gonna be a seamstress/tailor), rings (getting married), hairpins (gonna be a hairdresser) and of course, money (gonna be rich). When we first moved back it was just Andrew, myself and my brother who went to Mom and Dad's. Mom would still put the money in and of course, all of us, adults (really too big to be doing so), got very excited when we got the money. At least I did. Tim's coffee the next day was my goal. Now, there are the aforementioned crew, Stacey (Darrell's girlfriend), and two little ones. Charlotte and Harrison. 

Toppings for the pancakes.

 This year, Charlotte was very excited about the pancakes. She helped Nana put the little surprises in the pancakes and then couldn't wait for the finished product.

"Which one is mine?"

Mmmmm good!

Charlotte managed to eat 2 and along with Nana and Poppy's money, she came home with $2.50 for her piggy bank. 

Looks like a quarter!

Harrison came home with $3.00. Not bad for someone who didn't eat any, although he did try. 

No pancake was eaten in the taking of this picture

Harrison's Toonie. After the cupcake incident, I held on very tight while taking this picture.

Darrell, he got $4.00 and me, I got $2.00 (and a ring). I know, I should have given the money to the kids, but I just couldn't part with it. And it was a toonie, I couldn't split it between the two kids. Yeah, that's a good reason. Actually, I used that $2.00 towards deep water fitness tonight which, after those pancakes, was very painful. 


So, it was another great Pancake Tuesday. Charlotte and Harrison came home and put their money in their piggy banks. We all had fun and look forward to next year. Thanks Mom and Dad!
