Happy Birthday Jesus Pancakes- (Andes Mint pancakes, recipe included)

This is the 3rd time we have had Happy Birthday Jesus pancakes on Christmas morning.  It is a tradition that is here to stay.   

My kids were very excited to sing and blow the candle out.  The pancake recipe is also very tasty.  You can find the recipe below.  

I hope you all had a fantastic time celebrating the promises that came to earth when Jesus was born.  I hope you can rejoice in those promises each an every day.
