Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... We sure did! We got a chance to spend some quality time with both sides of our family and we ate a TON of good food. I already gave you my favorite pie crust recipe so today, I thought I would give you a great recipe that I recently found for hot chocolate.
A few weeks ago, Evan and I had our community group (small group from church) over to our house. I made Paula Deen's "White Hot Chocolate" and set up a "hot chocolate bar" complete with dark chocolate shavings, crushed peppermints, mint leaves, marshmallows and whipped cream. It was really fun and the recipe is definitely a keeper! :)
White Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until white chocolate chips have completely melted. Stir in half and half and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until heated through. Pour into mugs and serve.

In addition to our two Thanksgiving celebrations and a little black Friday shopping, we also cut down our Christmas tree this past weekend! Here are a few pictures from our time at the Christmas tree farm! :)
Cheers ;)

So cute! We are going soon too! This will be our first year with a real tree. What is your advice? What kind do ya'll get? Does Jack do okay with a real tree? :) Thanks, girl!
Cara Beth,
We LOVE having a real tree... they are fun to cut down and I love the way they look and smell! This year we got a Fraser Fir and I think we got a Leland Cypress last year. I love them both but the branches on the Fir are sturdier and easier to hang ornaments on!
Jack is very curious about the real tree but so far he hasn't been curious enough to cause any damage! haha
I saw that you took pictures at Motley's tree farm so I assume that's where you'll go? We LOVE that place and have been going there for years! :)
Happy tree shopping!
Love this recipe! I think I might use it and your hot choclate bar idea for Adelyn's bday party! Thanks for posting and glad you had a great Thanksgiving!!
