Today Mark had the day off because of Martin Luther King day! He hasn't ever had this holiday off before because the companies that he has worked for in the past have considered it a regular working day, so it has been a treat to have our "Daddy" home with us. To celebrate his day off, Mark surprised us this morning and made (his dads recipe)crepes for breakfast!!I always look forward to when Mark makes crepes for us because they are so yummy. Today, we went all out and we dressed them up a bit. We usually eat our crepes smothered in butter and then top them with jam, powdered sugar or with maple syrup. Today though, we made a cream cheese filling to put inside and then drizzled warm cherry pie filling over them and topped them off with a squirt or two of whipped cream. They were very yummy and I thought I would share the recipe with all of you so might all enjoy making them. Even if it is for celebrating something as simple as a day off! Happy Monday! Enjoy!

Yummy. Yes, I finally found your blog, sorry it took so long. Mary Lynne told me how... I hope you don't mind. Your kids are adorable- I am so glad to see karmindy doing so well and they both look very happy. I love your house and I am jealous that you have more winter left. I ordered a new jacket online and by the time it got here it was too warm to wear it. It should not be spring yet!! Enjoy the land of the North!
Those crepes look so yummy. I'll have to try out your recipe. Although I'll have to substitute strawberry's because no one except me likes cherry's. I can't believe how big your kids are getting. They are so adorable! Kaleb looks like he had a great birthday.
Danny loves crepes-thanks for the recipe! :0)
