Getting Cozy

It is officially fall here in Houston, and we have been blessed with some cozy weather. When we are driving in the car, and these days in the rain, Taylor will say, "Mom, when we get home can we get into our Jammies and sit in front of the fire and have hot cocoa?" I think I have verbally dreamed this with them so many times, they know that when it rains and it's cool that it officially fire and hot cocoa weather.

We started out with the hot cocoa on the fireplace; which the kids love, because usually Grandma's rules are "No drinks on the Carpet." So it was extra fun to have permission to break the rules. But shortly into it we realized that Peyton was going to spill them in one swoop of her chubby hand. So we quickly moved them back into the kitchen, but it was still so fun to cozy up to the fire.
