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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HOLDEN, MOMMY, DADDY & ALEX.

Overall, it was a great 1st Christmas with Holden. Of course we had the typical choas that most families deal with at this time of the year, but all I had to do was to look at the little Monkey to be reminded what this season is truly about. It is about the love that we feel in our hearts and want to share with everyone! And while Holden is lucky to be so loved, we are the ones truly blessed to have him in our lives.

Although we were not able to be with our whole family, as one of Joanne's girls had a cold and ear infection and Reece's sister is not coming into town until this week, we did have the rest of our family here for Christmas Eve. It was great to see him play with his cousins and we can't wait for him to spend time with all of his extended family coming this week!!





Holden had fun riding on his Race Day truck that Santa brought him.






The little Monkey did a great job opening his presents. If I would have known that it was the paper that he'd get excited over...









It has been awhile since I've updated the blog. I'm literally falling asleep typing this, so I'll write again soon, so I can tell you more about all of our friends and family that we've been able to visit with recently. We are so happy that slowly everyone is getting a chance to meet our little guy. More soon...
