It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Holden's first glimpse at Christmas...

We had a great time with Holden at a Stone Mountain Christmas. From the moment we drove up, he was fascinated with all the lights and music. You can see in this picture he was full of smiles for Grandma Deda! He likes people watching, which you can definitely do there.

Holden did great meeting Santa, but we decided not to put him on Santa's lap since we're being extra cautious about exposing the little guy to germs (not that Santa has them, but there are lots of kids sitting on his lap that do!) We'll look forward to that experience next year.

The Park's Santa (Ed) is awesome and he's got a big heart. I believe he's been the Santa there for the past 19 years. If you've never been to a Stone Mountain Christmas, I would definitely recommend it. It is the perfect holiday outing if you are looking for something the whole family can enjoy together. And no, I do not work there anymore, so this is not a paid endorsement (ha ha!)



Although we only stayed 2 1/2 hours, it was the perfect length of time for an infant and it was a night I'll remember forever.
