a happy little hot chocolate station ... ♥

i'm just starting to catch up on sleep, food and my Christmas to-do list

well not really catching up on the list

just trying to frantically get some of it done before the weekend. yikes.

i haven't really got much of my decorating done besides the tree & this hot chocolate bar

i had fun putting together last weekend for my daughter's birthday

i have grand schemes for decorating, and even though it's late 

i'm still gonna try to get some of it done

to set up your own hot cocoa station, gather some apothocary or mason jars

and fill them with whatever your heart desires ♥

the hot cocoa we use is just plain old swiss miss. we like it :)

and it came in a really cute throw-back vintage container that i wanted to use for something else.

swiss miss it is.

paper straws, candy canes, marshmallows, sprinkles and some candy

are what filled up our jars 

the little scoops in the cocoa & sprinkles are just teaspoons & tablespoons 

from a set my mom gave me from anthropologie a few years back

i remember when i got them for Christmas i thought, 

oh i already have a set of measuring spoons... i probably won't use these... 

i have used them for just about everything under the sun!

sometimes moms know things.

my grandfather was an artist... like a for real one :)

he painted hand lettered signs for a living

he was very talented, and i'm glad i have a few of his pieces ... this is one of my favorites

these voortman cookies were always in our house for Christmas when i was growing up

i remember getting excited about how colorful they were

with all those sprinkles

i love sprinkles

besided my tree i have all of two Christmas things up in our living room

this sign i heart from my bestie Becky...

and this little aqua sign from target

that's it. i know. i better get on it.

better get busy. have lots to do

two signs just wont do

:)

hopefully i'll be back to show you some more Christmas fun ♥

happy hot cocoa making!
