For some reason lately I've really been getting a kick out of penguins and any time I see something penguin at the store I stop to look at it. My mom has caught onto my recent obsession and got a cute little penguin mug for me. She said it stays at her house and I can enjoy some hot cocoa in my special mug anytime I come over. It's a special thing at our house. When we were growing up my mom would always surprise us with hot chocolate when we got home from school during the winter. It was always so nice to have a warm cup waiting for us when it was so cold outside. My favorite thing to do during the winter is snuggle up in front of the fireplace (with a nice fire going of course!) with a cup of hot chocolate, a nice book and a fuzzy blanket. The book could easily be skipped if I had some nice company. My mom and I used to just sit there for hours visiting and watching the snow fall outside.
Speaking of my mom, I thought I'd share a picture of a cute tree she has decorated at her house. It's a year round decoration she made and I think it's adorable so I snapped a picture of it when I was over earlier today to share with you.
