I decided that this year I would would make ornaments for gifts. These started out as those clear glass balls that you get from Micheal's. I filled them with glitter, fake snow, jingle bells, and some plastic snowflake confetti, put glitter letter stickers on and some self adhesive jewels and tied them up with seam binding. I think they came out rather nice and believe it or not I made about 30 of them in a short amount of time.
In my opinion the best way to make hot cocoa is .... to start with whole milk which I heat in a sauce pan, once hot I stir in good hot cocoa mix and the key here is the WIRE WHISK - I whisk the cocoa til smooth and then to top it off peppermint marshmallows from Trader Joes. My Boys love it and it's made with whole organic milk so its healthy (a little bit?) right!
Here are some more Christmas peeks of the house. If you aren't into the holidays be warned there is probably more to come ... ;)
