It's Personal
The Nelson Family has one old tradition that Kat has been serving her daughters since they were very young....warm vanilla milk. It's still a favorite they ask for as soon as the weather turns cold. Polar Express Hot Chocolate is a newer tradition. The recipe was found on Pinterest a few years ago...a crowd favorite for all ages!
