The Blanton Family: January 2011

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

saturday we went to patrick's favorite restaurant (berryhill) and then spent some time at the bull creek waterfall, it was such a lovely day. i love my family!

oh, and by the way, these hipstamatic prints are from MY new iphone, not patrick's!!!

yes, my friends patrick broke down and bought me one. the only stipulation is i have to keep an otterbox case on it, it's bulky but without it the poor phone is not safe in my hands.

thanks so much sweetheart!

yes, this post is a couple of weeks late, but i am trying to stick with this monthly project because i know the end result will just be too cute. and, no she is not sitting up on her own yet, she is just leaning on the door.

E is obsessed with band aids, he needs one everyday. this morning he got the box out and i decided to turn it into a color lesson, he did quite well, don't you think!?

happy 2011

our family Christmas

Saturday, January 1, 2011

this Christmas was truly magical. i love my family!

Christmas Eve service was incredible my hubby, sissy, and brother in law were all on the worship team that night, the music was amazing and the sermon was powerful.

Christmas morning was norman rockwell esque

my angels were all smiles all morning

i couldn't just pick a few photos so i put an entire slide show up.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

salado family Christmas

ready for bed after an incredible Christmas day!

grandma and eli love to read

this is rare, i don't have too many pics of just me and my elijah

so handsome

the boys all got coloring books in their stockings.

i guess santa thought elijah might like thomas the train:)

iris slept the entire time, kids laughing, screaming, shredding wrapping paper, Christmas music playing. she never woke up, it was one tiring day.

cookies for santa

on Christmas Eve morning elijah, iris, and i went down to auntie's house in our pj's to make cookies for santa. it was such a sweet memory and will now be an annual tradition. baking with two two year old's is hilarious!
