Silly Mommy : Cold front=hot cocoa time

Cold front=hot cocoa time

Ok, so I realize we aren't having "winter" weather here yet, but we did get a cold front this week! I was thrilled! Anytime the weather drops below 60, I feel its time to bust out the hot cocoa. And anytime I have hot cocoa, I HAVE to have my Biscotti to dip! We made a Sam's Club run last night(yes, we know how to party on a Friday night) and picked up, among other important things, the big jar of the Nonni's variety Biscotti. We still have a TON of hot chocolate packets left from last year(that stuff doesn't go bad, does it?) and we used my Cocomotion, a MUST HAVE for hot cocoa lovers! It felt like fall last night! Hooray!

The girls enjoying their hot cocoa. And Cali lookin a little crazy. I think she had too much too drink:)
