Mocha Hot Cocoa Mix
18 cups of mix

1 package dry milk (1 lb 9.6 oz)
1 package powdered sugar (16 oz)
1 package chocolate milk mix (15 oz)
1 jar powdered creamer (11 oz)
2 jars of flavored powdered creamer (your choice - amaretto, hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate) (8 oz each)
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup instant coffee

Combine all ingredients and mix well.  Store in an air tight container.  To prepare cocoa, mix 4 tablespoons of mix with 8 ounces of hot water.  Stir and enjoy!

For gifts, place cocoa mix in a mason jar, add some sweet fabric and a label with preparation instructions.

These little jars of cocoa mix make great hostess gifts.

They are also nice to have on hand during the holidays to give to friends that stop by.

Thanksgiving Football!

In addition to the food, family, and thankfulness part of the 

Thanksgiving holiday,

another reason it's my favorite 

is because of all  the 

FOOTBALL

I get to watch!

I love, love, love football and the Fightin' Texas Aggies and the Dallas Cowboys are my teams. :-)

After watching the 'boys and the Ags on Thanksgiving Day,

we got to travel to Cowboys Stadium on Friday evening

for a high school playoff game.

We sat under Troy's name. :-)

The chickens are 4 months old!
