I love to watch snow fall.
It’s so calming and relaxing to watch the snowflakes flutter down to the ground. I went outside with Emily, my youngest, and we made snow angels in the backyard. We also made a “snow tree” using a branch and decorated it with the walnuts from the neighbor’s tree.
After about an hour out in the cold, we were ready to come in and warm up. I was thinking about using the peppermint marshmallows we found at the store last week. Emily settled for plain hot chocolate with marshmallows, but I needed a boost, so peppermint mocha was my drink. I was tempted to add some rum to it, but that’s for another day. lol
Try this super duper easy coffee drink that’s so perfect for after shoveling, or just making snow angels with your little angel.
