The New Year came in with a little extra “fluff”–and for our family, this was great news! We don’t always get enough of the white stuff around here and the anticipation of breaking out the sleds is almost the equivalent of Christmas morning! (I do believe that even my husband secretly awaits the excitement of firing up the snow blower that is usually a neglected object in the garage!) Whether you love snow or hate it–are hard at work or hard at play–the best part of frolicking in the fluffy stuff is coming in for a thaw! From the moment the temperatures begin to fall both Sarah and I set out the hot cocoa in our homes for a quick warm up at any time of the cooler seasons! Not only does it look cute on the counter, it makes for a super quick set-up to warm the hearts and tummies of those with rosy cheeks and cold noses! So play in the snow till you can’t feel your toes! When you come in…
…the best part is waiting!
fresh snow for sledding…
so pretty, like spilled sugar!
an even sweeter sight–
hot cocoa awaiting!
glass containers hold the mix & mallows…plucked straight from the counter to the table…
quick & easy!
simple treats like cookies & gumballs always make a happy addition!
& festive straws work for stirring as well as sipping!
a tiny bucket holds left-over peppermint mallows
while Jack Frost is nipping at their noses…
have a sweet treat waiting…
…when they come in from the cold!
