  1. How lovely! That looked so fun! Usually I’m a coffee person also, but I like tea or hot chocolate on occasion. I love a tea called Yogi Egyptian Licorice. It’s spicy and sweet.

  2. Oh, Christie, way to make a memory so special that you all will never forget it. I would love, love, love to do this with my grandgirls! We don’t do sophisticated and fancy enough these days.
