like a thanksgiving miracle - that keeps giving...

thanks to our awesome friends kyle & mel who are single-handedly keeping the stephen's cocoa business booming, brett became acquainted with this pumpkin spice drink. i don't really care for it, but when we left their house a few weeks ago, he informed me that it was "delicious" and we have to try to get some. he went online when we got home, and found out that shipping basically doubled the price of the stuff. i assured him that we would be able to have a family member send some to us from utah, but he would probably have to wait til thanksgiving, when they could find it on store shelves.

fast forward to yesterday:

we had a pretty rough weekend, and i insisted that brett and i go to safeway to secure for ourselves some treats to help our problems go away. if only for 30 minutes or so.

while cruising down the aisles (we weren't even shopping for hot chocolate), brett must have "felt" the presence of the stephens, because somehow he immediately eyed a single dented can of pumpkin spice that must have been left over from last thanksgiving, stomped on in the stocking shelves outback, and then found and thrown in with the dark chocolate variety on the hot chocolate shelf.

i wish you could have seen brett's face.

We wish we could have seen his face too! If only to live nearer to you guys!

That sounds like a drink right up Marc's alley. Those Tolley boys like their hot spiced drinks!

Bless the Stephen's Hot Chocolate!!!!!

I told you that you should have taken that drink home. We have a whole can and we don't like it. The next time we get together, I will give it to you. But, remind me, so I don't forget :)
