Giant Pancakes

This morning I made the kids chocolate chip pancakes.

The other day when I made pancakes I made Joshua a big one since he is always wanting more & I was trying to get them moving for school.

Of course Nathaniel saw it & wanted one so I told him next time.

They were both pretty excited to get these huge pancakes. 

Joshua had no problem finishing it, plus scrambled eggs.

Nathaniel ate over half of his and some eggs & he was stuffed.

Grace didn't get a big one, but she was fine with that :)
