I don't know how you come up with all the incredible recipes. As if the fruit crepes weren't devine enough, this breakfast was so incredible. Oh, and the Christmas Day present opening was great too.

That picture of Layton is priceless. I forgot about it until you posted it. My plea goes out to you too... please send me some pictures when you have a free sec. I didn't get the Christmas play at all because I was directing!
