Thanksgiving Day 9 - Hot Chocolate (or Cocoa)!

I know it sounds really simple, but there is just something very comforting about a good warm cup of hot chocolate. It just soothes the soul! There's nothing like having a warm cup of hot chocolate when you're at a football game on a rather chilly evening, or at Zoo Boo with friends when it gets cold. Perfecto!

Children of all ages enjoy hot cocoa.

It can be enjoyed simply, with marshmallows, with cinnamon, or with mint for the perfect Christmas beverage....

Last night after Jackson went to bed, and all the craziness of the day was over, Andrew offered to make me a cup of hot chocolate and I accepted with joy. Something about holding a warm mug, sipping the warm sweet combination of milk and chocolate while having a few marshmallows with each sip, just seems to make all stress disappear and bring a smile to my face. Sometimes happiness comes through the simple things in life!

And Katelyn enjoys when I have hot chocolate as well. It really packs an extra "punch" to her kicks! Thank you Andrew for making such a delicious cup of hot chocolate for me last night!

So here's to all the hot chocolate, hot cocoa lovers out there! Cheers!
