Christmas Card

I had to get a little creative this year on the Christmas Card photo! I couldn't get all 6 of us in a picture and I am not allowed to send out a picture with our little girl in it :( So this is what I came up with...

Here is the annual Reid Christmas Update!

We had another AMAZING year! God has been with us on the mountain tops and in the valleys. It truly seems like a whirlwind, especially the last few months, but our LORD is truly good to us ALL the time! Welcoming Crosby on one day and losing our sister, Kaci, the next was a very emotional time. I think the verse God showed me for Crosby's announcement sums up the year in the best way..."The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away: may the name of the LORD be praised." Job 1:21. We are so blessed to have friends like you to share the joys and the sorrows with us. Your prayers and love have truly been the hands and feet of Christ to us during the last few months. There will never be enough words, but thank you will have to do!

Here is your annual overview of the boys: Caden turned 6 on August 29th and is excelling in Kindergarten this year. He played soccer, very well I might add, and is learning scripture in AWANA at record pace. Carter will turn 4 the day after Christmas and loves that he shares his birthday with Jesus! We have learned that he is the social butterfly in his preschool class this year and constantly amuses us with his imagination. Cole turned 2, also on August 29th and daily gives new meaning to the word ornery! But his laughter is infections and he brings great joy to our lives! Our latest blessing Crosby James arrived August 27th this year and is fitting right into our little herd! He is starting to coo more and more at each of us, and we are enjoying it so much!

Cory expanded the business last month, by talking his dad into buying another store in Watonga, OK. This means he is busier than ever! He continues to drive a bus for church on Sundays and Wednesdays and help in AWANA but is now helping me teach 3 yr olds in Sunday School! He works very hard for our family and is our rock! He amazes me with his devotion and obedience to God!

I am staying busy managing everyone's schedules and the house. I have scaled back on my outside activities this year and only teach Sunday School and direct our Cubbies class in AWANA. My focus is on being a wife and mother to our 4 boys and our 7 yr old girl that is living with us.

Even though things are in constant motion around here, we think of all of you often! I actually thank God for blogs, Facebook, and texting, so I can keep up with all of you! We appreciate the friendships so much!

Our family wishes you all a very Merry Christmas! May you all focus on our Savior this season and the rest of the year!
