Making Ambrosia

We like to make ambrosia for Christmas breakfast. Here is a video we put together today showing how it is made.

Today's Sermon

Things Applicable for God's Servants

Gingerbread Houses

We have been making a lot of gingerbread houses for friends, relatives, and neighbors this Christmas season.

Rolling out the dough

Cutting out the houses

Anna removes a pan from the oven

Stacks of gingerbread cooling on the counter

Sorting the pieces...

...and trimming them to the right sizes.

Constructing the houses

Putting on the roofs

Our favorite part was decorating the houses. A tiny graham cracker house for a 1 year old friend - we wanted it to be something she could eat.

Melissa made trees and bushes out of cornflakes and marshmallows to go around the houses.

Before......and afterLast minute repairs - the sugar cookie horses inside the barn fell over!

Our Trip to The Sufficiency of Scripture Conference

We were so blessed this past week to be able to attend the Sufficiency of Scripture Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. We left home on Wednesday morning.

Snacks :) Beautiful Tennessee scenery

As we got closer to the Cincinnati area, it started clouding up...

...and when we got to our hotel it was snowing!
