Pancakes & Pajamas

The girls came dressed in their pajamas, and first took turns at two activity centers: threading cereal for edible necklaces and decorating paper sacks for the pinata candy. After my husband read them the book, 'If You Give a Pig a Pancake,' the girls ate a breakfast of pancakes, yogurt parfaits and mini muffins. The table was set with cookie cutters and pancake toppings and they had a ball playing with their food, then gobbling it up! A pinata in the backyard was the final activity before each guest was handed a goodie basket of cookies and milk as a parting gift.
