Christmas coffee bar
We had our own christmas morning starbucks coffee bar right in the living room while we opened presents, etc. We made everyone lattes, expressos, with shots of SB’s coffee liquor and coffee cream liquor, garnished with foam, whip cream, syrups, and candy canes. The kids got hot chocolate with lots of foam and sprinkles. This was fun!
Here are the pics, or some of them… I deleted the full length pics of me in my new Christmas red long-john’s (thanks honey!)

All the fixins at one table

The kids got their hot chocolate because they were a little sleepy and low on energy Christmas morning… yeah, riiiight.
There were a lot of other delicious breakfast fixings, including strawberries and chocolate fondue. Thanks to Tory and Boo who did a wonderful and tireless job shopping for it all on top of everything else they had to do this season, and thanks to all the girls who got in on the menu and made it fantastic.
I love you guys! You all make this the best Home to have Christmas in, ever!
These are great ideas. THis is the first year when it was more than our family on christmas morning, (there was only 3 others), but next year the whole starbucks table thing is a great idea. We already do fondue with the kids, we’ve done that for 4 years now. the PJ thing is such a cute idea!
