This year we got to go to Michigan to celebrate Christmas with Justin's family. It was such a fun reunion since we hadn't seen them since August 2010! All of Justin's family was there including his parents, Bick and Linda, siblings Ryan, Stacey, Shannon and her family of 5, and Great Grandma Carol. We had such a FUN time!!!!! It was soooo fun for Tenley to be able to meet the other side of the family and her only cousins!! 
Grandma JuJu sent Tenley the cutest little elf outfit which was perfect because.....
...Santa CAME!!!!!
Tenley didn't quite know what to think of the fat man dressed in red!

Bye-Bye Santa!!
It was so fun for the new babies Tenley and Bentley to meet each other. They are only six weeks apart, so it's fun to think that they were recently in heaven together and saying things like "bye! See ya in 6 weeks down on earth!!" I bet they were besties :)
But, they pick on each other now.."I'm gonna pull your ear!"

"Fine, I'll punch you!"
But, we all know they love each other!Christmas Eve!!!!

On Christmas Eve, the Drake's have a tradition of getting gag gifts from their parents. So fun! well, this year Linda asked Justin what we want for Christmas and Justin half jokingly said "DIAPERS!" because they are so expensive. Soooo....we got DIAPERS for Christmas for our gag gift, which actually is a really nice gift for us!!! haha!
And as is a Christmas Eve tradition on both the Drake and King sides....new Jammies!!! Thanks again Grandma JuJu!
