face pancakes

On the rare days my dad was off when I was a child,

he would wake up to make us face pancakes.

Each one looked just like us.

Special.

And while on vacation at the beach a couple of weeks ago,

my dad passed along the tradition and made

face pancakes for Eden.

Here is her pancake:

Here are dad and Eden making them together.

And here it is read to come off the griddle.

It was moving to see my dad making them for Eden

as the memory of my childhood is still so fresh in my mind.
