Sunshine & Hot Chocolate Party

The Canadian prairies were plunged into a deep freeze just a week or so ago, and it was unbearable!  We've had such a mild winter lately that these frigid temperatures were a bit extreme.  Like -40 (Celsius, or Fahrenheit, it's all the same!) and those of you who know what cold is, that was just the temperature NOT including the wind chill!  Day time highs of -28C (-18F) = freaking cold!

So my friend Megan decided we should have a Sunshine & Hot Chocolate party.  Aka make hot chocolate and watch Little Miss Sunshine (which I had not yet seen.)  Because Amy's cat had recently had kittens, we decided to have the party at her house!

Amy with Leo & Tubby (yup...Tubby!)

Megan & Dale with kitties!

Me playing with kitties!

Now that the party was going to be at Amy's, she and I kind of "party-jacked" the whole idea...which was originally Megan's.  

We went all out for "just" a movie night.


Decorations:

Vase of sunshiney flowers!



Sunshine garland - I made this by cutting suns out of 2 different colored yellow papers and then sewed them together! 




Table of goodies

Hot chocolate fixin's, cookies, lemon bars, angel food cake, popcorn...!  


If you haven't guessed by now, Amy and I LOVE throwing parties.  One day she sent me a picture of this table cloth on my phone and asked "too much?"  and the first thing I thought was "It's PERFECT!"  



Lemonade (nice to have something not quite as sweet!)



The most incredible cookies I have ever seen! Megan of course made these - she's so amazing!! She actually hand cut all the cookies AND piped all the detail - by hand!! WOW! They were tasty too!  





Leigh & Jon! (they were the ones who got married on new years!) 



Doctoring my hot chocolate!



My chocolately hot chocolate!



Amy's tasty creation!


I hope you all got to warm up with us a bit!  Thanks for stopping by!
