Hot, Hot...

First off, as you can probably tell, I am not following through on the Days of Christmas thing.  Apparently having four kids makes it a bit hard to squeeze in all the fun activities, photo editing and blogging time daily.  So I've given myself a break and decided that maybe next year... or maybe it's just a thing of the past.

Rest assured I am still infusing our house full of Christmas merriment almost everyday (sometimes it may simply be watching a Christmas movie, but that still counts!) and I will try to keep this little piece of internet updated.

Now, on to the main event.

Which is hot chocolate.

We watched Polar Express the other night and in honor of my kiddos favorite song (this one right here) we had a hot chocolate bar.

Alright, alright- so there really weren't enough options here to call it a "bar", but there were enough to get my kids running in circles.

And since whip cream, candy canes, marshmallows and sprinkles are definitely not enough sugar right before bed, I made some peppermint cookies too.

And here is Porter in the middle of his sugar rush

He did not take a single sip of hot chocolate.  He was content to lick off the whip cream and then eat 72 marshmallows and 2 cookies.

Ah, to be young again.
