I remember complaining about spending Christmas at the beach and in a swimsuit, but I'm ready to move back to Hawaii! I do NOT enjoy anything about cold weather, and I don't think I've felt my toes in days because it's so cold here. I told a co-worker earlier this week that I don't like to leave my home if the weather is below 50, and I think she thought I was kidding. (She lives in New Jersey, so my pansy ways are comical to her.) I wasn't kidding. My children are a bit more tolerant than me, but today's freezing (literally) temps got to them as well.
Abigail asked for hot chocolate to help warm up, but I used the last packet a few days ago. It's much too cold to get out of the car and go into the grocery store for more hot chocolate, so I did the next best thing. I was able to get in my car while safely sheltered still inside the garage, warm up with a blasting heater and seat warmers, and drive through Starbucks. Now, we're back in the comfort of our heated home with our hot chocolates and peppermint white chocolate mocha beside the fire. Ahhh....

Don't you know how to make real hot chocolate with milk, sugar, cocoa, and optional marshmallows?
for each cup of milk stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tsp of hershey's cocoa. Heat til it has tiny bubbles on the edge, add marshmallows and enjoy. The packages just don't taste the same after the real deal.
We did that last week, even crushing and melting peppermints into it. It was so yummy, but last night we were even out of milk. No cocoa, milk or marshmallows. I couldn't do much with water and Splenda. Ha!
I like a girl with a back up plan! I'm with you on the not wanting to leave the house in this weather. Jacob on the other hand rode his bike to school this morning...live and learn!
There is a wonderful homemade recipe in the Blue Denim Cookbook that I use every year for teacher gifts and our other get togethers!
1 - 8qt box powdered milk
1 - lb bag/box powered sugar
1 - 16oz Nestle Quik Chocolate Milk Mix
1 - 16oz container coffee creamer
Mix all together and scoop about 1/3 cup into hot water. So yummy and it makes a bunch! Also, Go generic on the sugar and powered milk but I always use Nestle Quik and Coffee Mate. I think it makes a difference! I know this is about a month late on the comment but I'm catching up...hope you guys finally warmed up!!!
