a few of my favorite things

These are a few of my favorite things...

Mexican hot chocolate, donated peanut butter (that didn't really mix together as it should have), and pre-toasted bread... almost as good as cocoa and hard toast on this very cold morning!

Our Jesse Tree... I've wanted one since the days of the felt one at CCS, and my long-time wish finally came true when Jenna and I made them this year!  The kids come over each day to read the reading and find the day's magnet to hang on the tree...
