Pins and pizza

What are YOU doing tonight?

We are going bowling!

With our cousins

Kayla and Austin!

There was a lot of falling down

with the huge heaves of the ball

There were a lot of pins knocked down too!

Everyone seems to be having fun!

All the boys

And the girls

(where's Phyllis?)

Did we mention it was Uncle Adam's birthday?

Yea for cupcakes!

Beckett got to try out a little bowling too

Don't strain yourself!

Now THAT'S what I call

a big night on the town!

A bear for Megalodon

Every Reed Baby gets a bear.

The bear is named whatever we are called before we are born.

Meet Hamilton (Weston), Curly (Jackson), Bucket (Beckett),

and Megalodon (Baby #4)

We were sort of excited to get a bear for our brother

But REALLY excited to get a bear for ourselves!

I got Batbear 

Jackson got Phillip

 

Stuffing the bears is always fun--

pushing the pedal,

warming the heart

It's was Beckett's first time--

he was pretty fascinated with Truman's stuffing

We gave them baths

 And tested out the accessories

Who gave that elephant a license?

Oh right!

And we got Megalodon!

We couldn't wait to get them home!

They've been playing together all weekend!

Scouts at the station

My den visited the fire station today.

We got to tour the truck inside and out,

crawl all over a 1950's fire truck,

and have a push-up competition with the firemen...

guess who won???

Oh yeah, that would be Den 5.

Brrr!

Bundle up, everyone!

We're headed outside for the first snow of the year!

We got to try out Jack's snow markers

And do a little sledding

It may have only been an inch,

but we made the most of it!

Super Reeds

Look!  Now we all have capes!

Check out Jack's face...

he says he's too old for capes

Weston's not!

Neither am I!

Superheros, UNITE!

Best. Room. Ever.

With 4 kids and only 3 bedrooms to go around,

some sharing needed to happen.

So for Christmas,

Dad (with slight help from Mom...all props go to Dad)

made us Big Boys a new room.

Jackson's old room:

Our NEW room:

The reveal:

From the bunk

The stairs/ladder

We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Some together time

It's been really nice

having some downtime together!

We've been out to breakfast

And broken out a bunch of our new toys

(and some old ones too).

Juggle Bubbles are pretty cool

And the Blue Track

Check out what I made with Lincoln Logs

And did I mention we dig PlayDoh?

REALLY dig Playdoh!

Not pictured--

our new play kitchen and food,

Monopoly Jr,

Headbanz, 

checkers, 

legos and more legos,

karaoke,

science experiments,

bath toys...

the list is long.

And FUN!
