I have to hand it to WAVA (Matthew's school--Washington Virtual Academy). They have the funnest family outings every month. Yesterday we went to the Winterland of Gingerbread party. The kids got to bring a gingerbread house to enter in a contest and display while everyone got to go ice skating. Cookie making, cookie eating, it was great. Grandma offered to watch the three youngest, so that Ryan and I could help the ice skaters. It turns out, I was the one who needed my hand held! Matthew was tearing up the ice like a hockey player. Ryan acted like ice skating was natural. Nathan and Andrew and I took a little longer getting used to a frictionless environment. I have been ice skating before, but not since my younger years, pre-marriage. I was going around and around without the railing by the end! Even Aunt Ashley came to skate with us. We loved it!
Matthew, Nathan, and Andrew all received awards for their gingerbread houses, which are right in front of them.

This is Ryan's littlest sister. She is a junior in high school. Right after this picture Ryan said, "Don't hug me like I'm your boyfriend." Ashley loves getting Ryan going because he loves hugs so much : )
We were dangerous together. I don't know if Nathan was going to take me down, or if I was going to take him down.
