Cory, Taylor, & Holdyn Monty: Christmas Parties!

About the Montys

Cory & I have been married for almost 4 years & we cannot get enough of our little boy! The last 4 years have flown by, but I have never learned so much! Or loved so much :) On a daily basis, I am overwhelmed with love for these boys who have taught me so much & can make me laugh on even my worst day. I try very hard not to take for granted how lucky I am to have a healthy son & husband. All I’ve ever wanted was this family… I’ve been dreaming of it for 10 years ☻

Christmas Parties!

We have had a fun filled and very busy December! We have already been to three Christmas parties and have 2 more on Christmas Eve! We've seen Santa twice already! The first time, Holdyn wasn't quite sure what to think...

But he slowly warmed up to Santa...

We always go to Gardner Village for Guy's work party, but Guy is never there... Weird :)

The party is always REALLY early in the morning (9) so Cory and I seriously struggle when it comes to pictures that early. This was the best we could do!

Then we had the Sahleen Christmas party. There are tons of kidlets for Holdyn to play with.

And the most adorable Santa and Mrs. Clause come visit every year. It is darling and Holdyn loved helping Mrs. Clause pass out Candy Canes.

Santa made sure everyone sat on his lap before he left, yay for the adults! Cory even got a turn. I wonder if he will get what he asked for...?

I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I am just as excited to give Cory his presents as I am to give Holdyn his this year. I must say, I did a fine job in the present department this year and am not even thinking about my presents :) I just can't wait to see my boys faces!!

The Emerys said...: That picture of the three of you is so cute. I love your hair its so cute. Thats so sad about Holdyn. Primary Childrens is somewhere i never wish upon anybody to have to go there. I know how you feel Paxton had to have surgery when he was 6 weeks old and it is the worst seeing them all hooked up to everything and helpless.; December 22, 2008 at 9:24 AM

**Our Adventures**

We had a fantastic winter filled with some of the most joyous holiday fun! Cory and I cannot believe the amount of fun we had celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter with Holdyn. He makes everything so much more magical. He has added so much meaning to not only our special holidays, but even our day to day activities are so much more magical than ever before. Sledding down our snowboard ramps, looking at Christmas lights, making cookies, chucking snow, wrapping presents, snuggling up while watching the snow… doing all of these things with him made us even more aware of how appreciative we are to have him and each other. He is so refreshing. I can’t even begin to explain the excitement Cory and I felt as we did our “parental duties” on Christmas Eve. It was even better than when we were kids. During Christmas time, every time we were in the car, there was a constant yelling of “Lights! Lights! Lights!” coming from the back seat. We are having so much fun… not only with Holdyn, but with each other. I don’t think we’ve ever had this much fun in the 10 years… yes 10 years this September!... we’ve known each other. It is not always sunshine and rainbows :) But I love going through every new phase in our relationship, even if it’s not a fun one! I know we are learning lessons and the important thing is that we are growing together. Through all of the trials this last winter, we have really stood united, had fun, and not forgotten to act a little goofy. I truly believe that all you need is love, and THAT… we have sooo much of for each other. Winter was a blast, but we are ready for Summer!!! We are having so much fun swimming, dirt digging, playing at parks, BBQing, sidewalk chalking, fireworks, River Sundays, and a Disneyland/SeaWorld trip will be finishing off our Summer :) I can hardly wait!!
