Hot Cocoa Party

Yesterday was a special day at our child care...pjs and hot cocoa with a Christmas movie.  Great memories to be made!  We skipped all "school" activities for the day - put blankets and pillows all over the floor and just vegged out a bit.  It's fun to turn off the routine for a day, and just snuggle and enjoy these fleeting moments of being a kid.  Of course, life is not perfect so some hot cocoa was spilled, pillows were fought over but in the end, we had a good day. 

Just setting up for movie time was fun - I made plates with lukewarm cocoa (Can't be too hot for kids, they will NOT drink it.  I learned that a long time ago!), a Christmas colored napkin, some snowman cookies and some marshmallows to add to their cocoa.  It was so cute seeing them all use real mugs to drink!  They were so happy with themselves.   

If you have a chance to take a day and spend it in your pjs, drinking hot chocolate and watching Elf....grab it.  Days like that don't come along often.
