Christmas activities

A few nights ago the kids were recruited by our Children's Director at Church to lend a hand to the bell choir during a performance at Pioneer Farms. They did great and we were really proud of them! They had a great time! Sunday at Church Sierra did a beautiful job of signing the words while the Children's choir sang some carols. In the same service, Hunter and his fellow puppeteers presented the Gospel with some rock 'n roll! That's Hunter on the far left.

Christmas at the Reeds

After the Thanksgiving car wreck, all of our seasonal traditions, including this one of going to Elgin to cut down our tree, have been a little more special and savored. We all really love our traditions, and this year is no exception. Here Hunter has felled a mighty nine foot pine, although he did not fare as well trying to knock down his sister.

Psycho Girl!

You probably already KNEW this, but my wife is NOT just another pretty face! Here you can see her as she is being inducted into Psy Chi, an honor society fraternity of very smart Psychos! I'm so proud of her! If you thought she was smart cuz she married me, you'd be correct. However, she's also pretty book smart, too! She's the hot one in the middle, with the pink sweater!

A close call...

This was the car that was carrying Hunter, my 15-year-old, and 3 of my other nephews, on Thanksgiving Day. One of those nephews inexplicably decided to race another unknown driver, and this was the result. Thankfully, all four boys had their seatbelts on and all walked away from this with some minor cuts and bruises. I can only thank God once again for His unmerited mercy. Period.
