December in Atlanta has been a rainy one, but the sun came out this week and we headed to Bottoms Christmas Tree Farm for a Hot Cocoa party. Mandy Kellogg Rye, styling extraordinaire and super fun friend, organized this shoot for  Style Me Pretty Living (see the full gallery there). My children were in happy world land with animals around every turn, hot cocoa and popcorn, and new friends to play with:) Kristin of The Hunted Interior‘s daughter Chloe immediately tackled Veronica in a bear hug and they were friends just like that. Amanda of Wonderfully Lost has a little guy Gabriel’s age and they bonded over hauling Christmas trees:)
Felt very lucky to be a part of this with my little ones!

Hope you enjoy the photos! And be sure to check out the talented crew we worked with:

    I am ALL about hot chocolate these days (and every other day of the year!). I love love the styling! The Gap and Old Navy have been on point with their clothes this season. Now what I really want to know… how was the hot chocolate? I want to throw a hot chocolate party and have been trying to think of different ways to go about it. The hot chocolate sticks are just so different and cute looking!

  14. Kate says:

    The level of photogenic quality happening here in these photos is UNREAL.

    Knock it off and give the rest of us a chance. ;-]
