Above, a full plate of Oatmeal Cookie Crepe Cakes
Hmmm, but this looks too neat and tidy…
That’s better.
Above, with little Soyatoo dots and homemade Smashberry Jam. For the jam: It’s so easy! Just boil your berries… and then SMASH them!! That’s it!
After breakfast, it was time for presents!
(Well-fed parents = Much happier parents)
Funny story: As young kids, my uncle and his sisters set their parents’ clock ahead three hours so they could open presents earlier. Evil!
But not all children are evil. The little sister was so helpful, offering to shape Raw Gingerbread Men
And finally… Picture Proof of snow in Texas:
Looks like comets:
Jessica says
Those crepes are so cute, and they look fabulous! You had more snow that we did here in Pittsburgh!
Gina G says

Emily says
Your crepes look amazing, Katie! I’d love to eat breakfast at your house. 🙂
So funny about your uncle and his sisters messing up the clocks. So clever (and you’re right..evil, haha).
Hope you and your family had a great Christmas!
ohhmay says
Hahaha I love the setting the clock back story! When I first got my license, my parents had a curfew for me so as soon as I came in the door I set all the downstairs clocks back 10 minutes and convinced my dad his bedroom clock must be wrong! 😛
It looks like you had a fantastic holiday! Your whole family looks so much alike, you’re all so cute!! 😀
Jenny says
Katie, you should have left some of those crepes for Santa. I have a feeling he would have given you a car or a house in return. Those look phenom!
oh you and your gorgeous fam! such lookers 🙂 Glad to hear you had a wonderful holiday!
Stef @ moretolifethanlettuce says

Chelsea says
The snow was crazy! We got 14 inches where I live! It was a great white Christmas though. 🙂 I am going to make those crepes for breakfast tomorrow!
Marina says
Crepes look yummy, I wish I could have one.
Btw, our family tradition is to opet presents on Christmas eve, after dinner.
Lindsay says
Snow in Texas is craziness! lol I bet it’s kind of unusual for you to get a white Christmas, CCV…
Hope your Christmas was wonderful!! xo
Iris says
I’m glad you got to have a white Christmas!
Danielle says
I would love the recipe for oatmeal crepe cakes 🙂 And setting the clock ahead 3 hours? That’s actually really clever lol. We would just wake our parents up at 4:30 in the morning and continue knocking on their door every 20 minutes until they were up.
Kiersten says
Merry belated Christmas Katie!
Cassie says
i’m glad to see you had such a nice Christmas! when i was little i always hated waiting for my parents to get up on Christmas morning too. i just wanted to open my presents!
Jenna says
crepes look great!
glidingcalm says

merry (late!) christmas!!!
happy weekend CCK!
Jessica @ Fit & Clean says
Snow in TX is like having snow in Atlanta. Did everything shut down? It makes me laugh, because I’m from up North, where stuff is open even in the worst blizzards! Looks like you had a great time! Going to look up the crepe recipe now 🙂
Andria at Veg is Sexy says
Those crepes look so yummy, I want them now!
ilanalala says
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh those gingerbread men are too cute. Gotta add those to the “to-do” list!
elizabeth says

Heather Eats Almond Butter says
Glad you enjoyed your Christmas Katie! Just emailed you for crepe cake recipe. I can wait no longer. 🙂
dreamnitvegan says
Ahhhhh, thanks for sharing some Christmas family pic’s. Your doggy is too cute! My son would give anything to have it snow here. He absolutely loves the cold weather.
Those oatmeal crepes look healthier than donuts, yummy.
Shelby says
Aww, so cute! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
Oh your parents look like parents: just happy that whew! xmas morning is halfway over and the kid(s) are happy! another whew! I see myself in them 🙂 Except they’re 20 yrs farther down the line than I am…god bless them!
Gingerbread men AND crepes (which I adore and am off to go read the recipe!!)-yum!!!!
Michal says
Yum crepe cakes! Im sad to say ive never had a crepe in my life. Perhaps we should fix that asap 😉
chrysta says
Loved the snow pictures!! Im so glad you had a wonderful holiday girl!! Take care=) Those gingerbread boys look absolutely fabulous as usual!! And those crepes look super yummy!!
Katrina (gluten free gidget) says
That clock story is priceless!
Carbzilla says
Every day we drink out of the SAME mugs your dad’s drinking from! I bought it for my seasonal china but for some reason we use the mugs in regular rotation. I just served our Xmas dinner on the matching dinner plates because it was SOOOO white I needed some color for it to stand out against. Too funny!
Merry Christmas again! You’re right!. It cannot be said enough!
Naomi says
those crepes look like the PERFECT morning treat the day after xmas!! love the pics of your family and sister making the gingerbread men 🙂 she should make a blog too!!!
The voracious Vegan says
Merry Christmas! Looks like you had a wonderful, and snowy, day!
BroccoliHut says
That clock trick is genius!
Nowadays we usually awake at about 8, open stockings til 8:30ish, then open presents. We each take turns, and we go in birth order. Needless to say, with 7 people, Christmas takes a while for my family:)
eaternotarunner says
aww looks like you had a blast! And the raw ginger men look awesome!
Merry Christmas!
Deb (SmoothieGirlEatsToo) says
Aww Mom sitting on Dad’s lap- such cuties! You didn’t blush and scold them??
Love the snow comets and all the wonderful Christmas fun!
Scott in Ohio says
Hey, Katie! I’m finally catching up on blog-reading and wanted to wish you a Merry (belated) Christmas!
Great snow pics! It was strange having to get photos from friends in the Dallas area (Plano and Little Elm) to see a white Christmas.
Oh, and yeah…anything with “crepe” in the name is good by me. 🙂
Mandie says
