Pumpkin Buttermilk Waffles

When I turned 15, I got a waffle maker for my birthday.  I loved waffles, and I still do. 

My 17 month old son also loves waffles.  He will ask for them. 

Boy, was he in heaven yesterday when I made these pumkin buttermilk waffles. 

Actually, all my kids liked them.  Even my daughter who SWORE she wouldn't. 

These are good. 

Just look at them, yummy.
