Loving the Holiday Cheer

We were fortunate enough to travel to Ohio this past week for Thanksgiving to spend time with my side of the family including my parents and grandparents.  I was so happy that my sons got the chance to spend that precious time with them and that my two year old got his first taste of playing in the snow {ever}!

Once we got home, I was VERY eager to start decorating for Christmas, but I had to put that on hold and head to Walmart for a few essentials.  We were completely, and I mean completely, out of food.

At the top of my grocery list?  I’ll be honest…it was milk.  I’ve got a milk-loving toddler, remember?

The second item I had to grab?  Some Coffee-mate creamer in Peppermint Mocha.  My husband and I LOVE our coffee in the winter months, especially with the cooler weather we’ve been having in Georgia.  I was so excited to try this special holiday flavor, especially while we decorated the house together today!

Let me tell you, it did not disappoint.  He was wary at first, thinking it would taste very overpowering, but it wasn’t at all.  The peppermint mocha flavor added a subtle touch of peppermint to our cups and the perfect amount of sweet cream.

My opinion?  Christmas in a cup! And the perfect way to connect as a family and put us completely in the Christmas spirit.

While we enjoyed our peppermint kissed coffee, we managed to make quite a bit of progress on the Christmas decorating front, including getting our tree up!

We had to stick with non-breakable, and for the most part kid-safe ornaments again this year.  I’m guessing that’s just how it’s going to be for the next few Christmases, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I also managed to work on a few Christmas crafts that you’ll see in the coming weeks on the blog.

I may or may not have eaten my fair share of these cookies while decorating today too.  Nothing goes better with peppermint flavored coffee than some delicious Christmas cookies, right?
