Our good friends the Wilkes Team in Virginia shared this absolutely wonderful recipe with us. I always seem to gravitate to this warm drink on cold days. Half a batch of this is perfect for Hannah, Daniel, and Mommy to enjoy! This afternoon I think we will partake of this hot cocoa, play Upturn, and then watch our new Animals in the Bible DVD. Sounds like a wonderful cold weather plan!
Love Always,
Mommy
