Christmas Eve!

Each year Tyler and I make cookies for Santa together! Tyler likes to make sure that everything is just right!

Then each year we spend just some quality time together as a family.

Daddy even sneaks a little love from Tate.
and Tyler too.....

What we have been up to!!!

Tyler and Tate made Christmas cookies the morning of Tyler's Christmas party that he had to miss. He had walking pneumonia :o( He was so sad but had a lot of fun decorating cookies!

Tate had a lot of fun eating the cookies!!!







This was Tyler's class gingerbread house making! They were so cute decorating their houses.

This was my final try at getting a Christmas card photo. I was about to give up after many nights and at least 100 pictures later I got this one of Tyler and Tate. I discovered that Tate is very difficult and that people would just have to know that getting a picture of him looking at the camera is just impossible to that is what their picture showed!!

Tyler posed so many times even he was a little over it but this one turned out to be the winner!! Merry Christmas from the Reeds.

Happy Birthday Big Bill!! It was Jeff's dads 60th birthday with all of his grandchildren looking on.

Tyler was great to let Santa know just what he wanted and just exactly which Playmobil to bring him and even where he could find it in case his elves did not know how to make Playmobil. He was sure that Smart Toys and Books would let Santa shop there!! Oh to be 5 again! The innocence is so awesome.

Earlier in the month of my trying so hard for a Christmas picture. This was Tate's last time in one piece pj's. He is now almost potty trained!!! Yeah!!! But I do miss these sweet pajamas.
He may be almost 3 but he still looks like a baby sometimes! This was his way of making me stop torturing him to get a card photo. He just got his paci and layed under the tree!

Santa brunch at Fox Den. Tyler would not sit in Santa's lap here though because he was just sure that this was not the real Santa. He said that he did not wear his gloves. He said that he would only sit in the REAL Santa's lap which you have seen he did at our church.
