Rachel's Hot Chocolate

 Today we had a snow day!  We woke up to snow and wind, which means bad roads, white out, and all those blizzard conditions.  It was great!  All last week I had been hoping for a snow day.  I just felt like I needed a day at home.  But later this morning it became beautiful... which is the way most snow days end.  It was warm, sunny, and probably one of the nicest days we have had this winter.



This winter has been extremely cold.  There is nothing like hot chocolate on a winter's day.

We like to always have some made up.  We keep it next to the stove.  We have always kept it in a plastic container, but big glass jars are just more fun... and cutier.  So, I looked around our house for one.  And, I found one that works perfectly.



This is hot chocolate.  But, have fun with it.  Mom likes to mix some of the mix in with coffee.  Some of us like to had Reddi Whip and/or marshmallows.
