DSC_1292It snowed last night.  The kids woke up, threw on their snow clothes, and anxiously ran outside to bask in the first snow of the season!  I knew that when they came in stomping their boots, with their little snow-kissed cheeks, they would “need” hot cocoa.  So, I dragged out my favorite recipe from last year, dusted it off and started cooking!  I hope your snow laden crew will enjoy this as much as mine does.
