This time of year always reminds me that my girls see Christmas magic in the smallest things. These Berry Rudolph Waffles are definitely one of those ways.

Can you resist the cuteness?! The best part about these is that they are so easy to make. Too often, we as parents put pressure on ourselves to make everything in our lives pristine.
It honestly doesn't take much to be a hero in the eyes of your children. Creativity and imagination go a long way, but it's often the effort that they remember the best. My kids are always so appreciative of these waffles and they bring on the smiles each time. Besides, bacon + waffle is always a winning combination in my household!
