Snowy Day

As a kid, I loved the book, "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats. In it, a young boy wakes up to discover his world is covered in snow. I didn't wake up to a blanket of snow, however, our forecast for a dusting to 2" has slowly become 5"+ and still falling.


Here is my snowy day (we got off at 1:00):





















































"Special" Hot Chocolate Recipe
2 C. milk
3 T. baking cocoa
2 T. Splenda
2 squares dark chocolate
1 t. (or more) cinnamon
A good bit of Kahlua (I just poured it in until it tasted good!)

Using a whisk, combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan . Stir continually over medium-low heat until hot. Pour into two mugs. Serve with Cool Whip.

We had hot chocolate last night too, and watched a great movie, "The Painted Veil." Even Josh liked it. I love snowy days. It looks beautiful outside!

Nice catching up with you in person a little bit on Sunday!

It's so wonderful isn't it?! And it's early for a first real snow!

Sounds like a yummy recipe - I'll have to try it :)

Loving the snow here in your old stomping grounds.
