Well I was the one that started this thing a few years ago but Cris decided to take it over and girly it all up. So the lack of postings must be blamed on Cris not me as I continue to feed you some Terry family memories. I have to admit I was a little hurt that I didn't get much response to the art I posted last time, a classic like that should have created all kinds of buzz.
Jonelle, your copy is on it's way to you as we speak!!
Here's what we've been up to lately.
We had a wonderful Christmas, the "big girls" got a giant doll house from Grandma Drake that dad spend forever putting together...I think the Chinese as they build the millions of peices must get a little chuckle as they pack them all in the box at the misery that awaits dad's like me that have to put it all together.
Santa brought the Easy Bake Oven for Chloe, what a treat, we enjoyed mini-chocolate chip cookies and it only took 30 minutes for the light bulb to cook them, don't you wish you had one of these...?
Sophie not only got the Ariel doll but an Ariel phone and case, Ariel lipstick, etc etc etc. She was thrilled at the under the sea treasures.
We had Grandma and Poppa Terry over for Christmas Eve dinner, thanks Cristine for your amazing culinary talents, (she made rice crispy treats...good job honey!!) Just kidding she prepared the entire meal, we did our first Terry Turkey, and all the other fixins, we are so proud of ourselves.
We got to see Kelly twice over the holidays once in Las Vegas for Turkey Day and at our house with Grandma and Poppa Drake the week of Christmas. We had so much fun, we keep trying to get them to move up here but we've yet to crack them.
Unfortunately, because I was the guide and host of the Terry Winterland Experience for our visitors, I didn't have a camera with me when we went on the hightlight of the week, Tubing/Sledding!! Apparently they don't teach people from Las Vegas how to slow down or stop on the tubing hill, Poppa Drake used more of the Clark W. Griswald style of sledding and slammed into a wall with first his shoulder, then his head and had a few cuts to prove it. Shortly after that stunt, Cousin Bailey followed down the hill on a tube and smacked her head on the same wall. I guess next time we will pick a hill that doesn't have a concrete wall at the bottom of it...To my defense in years past we've never been able to reach the wall, but due to the huge amounts of snowfall from earlier that week we discovered you can make it to the wall. Maybe Kelly can send me some pictures of that day for accuracy of my story.

Just before the snow fell Cris has the great idea for family pictures...how fun for us. Aunt Margi did an awesome job with the girls and even made me look halfway normal, I guess I can't be the judge on that though, but of course Cristine looks beautiful as always.
And of course our little muffin Lyla...She is so much fun, she is getting big and has so much personality, she is so sweet. Cris is attempting to feed her via spoon, it was quite a mess. She is 7 months now and her sisters completely love and terrorize her at the same time.
