First Christmas with Drake

Our reindeer turned 2 months old the day our Christmas celebrations started. We had our best Christmas yet now that he's in the picture and he got spoiled to the max by friend and family. 


Before leaving town we met friends for brunch at First Watch. This is the first time I'm really looking at this picture and Drake looks ridiculous. 


After brunch we hit the road to Winston for Derrick's family ornament exchange. All hands and eyes are on Drake as soon as we walk through the door.


He opened his firs Christmas present while we were there.


And this adorable Christmas outfit that led to an immediate melt down. I promise he loved it!


Derrick and I won the ornament exchange, as usual, but I forgot to grab our annual picture with our ornaments. Priorities shift with a baby in the picture. The following day we headed on to Hickory for Christmas eve and Christmas day. I have a very similar picture to this from Thanksgiving.


I have a lot of pictures of Jack with Drake because he calls dibs anytime Drake is up for grabs :)



Thanks for the cute Christmas outfit Grandma and Grandpa!



Christmas morning was so fun! We made Drake wait at the top of the stairs until everything was ready for him to come down. We told him Santa hadn't come and really made him sweat.





His stocking is bigger than he is!





His smiles are getting so good! We're getting smiles in the morning pretty regularly and even getting some evening smiles...especially post bath time. This is one of the best ones we've caught on camera.


Drake got some shades in his stocking because he gets so squinty in the sun.


Derrick's mom and Grandma came over on Christmas afternoon to visit so Drake got time with all his grandparents on Christmas day.





Uncle Jay and Uncle Jack got Drake a pair of timberlands and they are hilarious. Drake's first pair of shoes :)


Merry Christmas everyone! I'm really trying to get back on the blogging bandwagon but it's hard to find the time during the day. I'm working on it!
