Christmas with the Vice's

Gentry was lucky enough to spend the Saturday after Christmas with most of the Vice family. Gentry sure did miss not getting to see cousin: Alex, Aniya, and Ethan & aunt Kyra and Uncle Ryan. They unable to make the trip, but we is excited about the next time they get to spend together. Gentry enjoyed running (almost running) around chasing cousin Braydon and keeping up with cousin Parker. Popaw was able to make in it from Texas, although we was slightly delayed in Chicago. Gentry had so much fun catching up with Popaw: telling all about his latest adventures and new milestones. It was a lot of fun spending time together and opening lots of fun presents, although Gentry did sleep through most of it - hahaha. =)

Christmas with the Messmer's

It was a wonderful Christmas this year, as it is every year. Gentry was blessed to spend Christmas with a number of people: the Messmer's for one. After spending Christmas morning at home iwth Mommy & Daddy he went not only to his Grandparent's - the Messmer's, but also to see his Great-Grandma Messmer. It was a busy and wonderful day. Oh, the presents...oh, the food....oh the family! Good times.

Gentry's 1st Birthday Party

1 year doctor's appt

Our baby isn't a baby anymore.

He's a big boy, who had 4 shots at his 1 year check-up,

and barely cried. We were so proud of our brave boy!

Robby and I just cannot believe how fast time has flown by with Gentry.

We have been and could to be blessed by his presence in our lives.

Gentry is a true gift from God, we are so thankful God entrusted us

with the tremendous task of raising one of his children.

December is such a crazy month for us, between Gentry's birthday & the holidays.

But we would not trade it, because it's a precious gift & reminder of what
this time of year is really all about - the birth/gift of Jesus Christ.

The holidays should be about family, friends, and remembering those

we tend to take for granted.

We are excited to start a new year with Gentry.

Who knows what 2010 will bring?
