Some Christmas Moments

hanging straw ornaments

staying up till the wee hours playing board games

blooming tea

hiding in the bedroom to wrap gifties

sleeping under the tree...with a buddy

a white christmas!

Grammy's fab vintage tree

ummm...Naya? Sodie?...those are felted purses

turkey, ham and all the trimmings

inherited superpower from Grammy, working jigsaws at light speed

December Gift-Making...Hot Cocoa Mix (organic style!)

Assembling ingredients: the best quality cocoa powder, dry milk, sugar, and salt we could find.

Four hands are better than two!


Blending all the ingredients (we added some crushed peppermint candies to make fancy Minted Cocoa)

Taste test...yum

Wrap it up in pretty jars with ribbons for a lucky friend this Yule!

Recipe for this simple, organic version of Hot Cocoa Mix found here.
