Advent Wreath Making

Every year the congregation has an advent wreath making night that includes dinner and each family putting a wreath together. I was again one of the first ones done as I have been for the past two years. I don't know what takes everyone so long. It's really very easy to make. Maybe it's all the practice I had making Allison's wreath long ago that has made me quick.

Thanksgiving Potomac Sunset

End a Thanksgiving Day with a sunset out over the Potomac. It was so beautiful I couldn't resist the shots. People were pulling over everywhere to get a better look. Another amazing thing to be thankful for on this day.

Virtual Thanksgiving

This is how I spent my Thanksgiving. No one can say the Reed family isn't in the 21st centuary! It was a great way to be with the family from the comfort of my own home.

We Celebrate Veteran's Day

To our Veterans, we give a thank you. Here was a picture I found at the base of the following picture....someone put it there. What a shot to find.

At the Air Force Memorial

A beautiful shot of Arlington. It was amazing to look at all those tomb stones in the distance and really see just how large the place is. It was amazing.

Election Day

We had a school election Monday. The kids thought it was a blast. Inside the voting booth.

Kindergarten

Trunk or Treat

The great pumpkin patch was what Kim and I threw together on Friday. Some people even knew what it was before we told them....even when I didn't see it. Lets just say our car didn't win a prize for the best decorated. However, we still had fun and the weather was nice thankfully. Some adults even dressed up. Here is a bunch of grapes.
