2nd Annual Ramos Family Gingerbread House Contest

This is the 2nd year we have built Gingerbread houses with the kids. We have a blast doing it, but this year we had a little difficulty with the frosting. I bought box kits last year and this year we had two that were giving to us last year, the frosting was stale and thick like clay. We kneaded the frosting for what felt like ever, but it was thick. The green wasn't even use able. Well after we were finished Laura said hey why didn't you make your own?...well duh, that would have been nice had I thought if it. Note to self, do not use old kits.

Next year we are going to use graham crackers and I am going to buy the candy and make my own frosting.

Winter Wonderlights

Tonight we took the kids to the Wildlife Experience to the Winter Wonderlights. We had a great time, stood in line for an hour and a half, it was 25 degrees outside...bburrrr chilly!

Don't faint

Laura has been bugging me like crazy to update my blog lately. I haven't had any pictures to post. So, today I finally got all the pictures on the computer and so Laura this is for you!

Family Picture

We haven't taken a family picture in a while. So, today after church we stayed in our clothes and took some pictures.

CTR 6

We have one more week to teach these amazing kids in Primary. Loren and I have taught them for the last 18 months and have loved it. Loren and I are so sad to leave these cute kids, but so excited to have watched them grown and change. This is not all our class, we have 12 children in our class.

Breakfast with Santa

Pajama day at school

Connor and Taylor had Pajama day at school, the last day before the holiday break. Since their pajama's were in hidious repair, I decided to buy them new ones. I bought Connor a size bigger, but he looked like he was shrinked wrapped into his pajama's. They had a great time though!

Family game night.
