Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Blanton Family!
 
We have had an interesting couple of months.  We have been able to overcome some personal struggles.  Nothing so huge that anyone should worry.  But I am able to see how important my family is to me and how blessed I am with the love and patience we are able to share with each other.  And the balance each person brings to our family is wonderful!
We had a house full for Thanksgiving!  It was so much fun to see Jeremy, Ranee and their girls.  Mom and Manfred were here too and are such a huge help while they are here.
We are more than ready for Christmas.  Bobby the elf has been here since December 1st.  The house is all decorated.....inside and OUT (Thanks Jeff!).  The kids are counting their presents under the tree.  We keep it pretty modest with the gifts.  The kids are always very happy with what they receive.  We went to Myrtle Beach State Park and got the picture made.  They had games to play for the kids and we bought one ticket each for the cake walk and with the odds on our side......WE WON!!  We won fresh baked pastries from Tofino's and decided to go there for lunch afterwords.  It was a fun day!
We wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
