This is a great picture of the Starkey's

These pictures were in the mail when we got home. This is Ella Rose Rob and Donna's granddaughter from NJ

I tried to take these from 2 pictures, but they were so cute, couldn't resist.
We drove 3410 miles and was gone 13 days. Too old for this but great to see our family.

More Jess Christmas

Dec 26th

Then there was the Jess Christmas.

Our cheerful host. He really is a wonderful host.

Christmas is still happening

These are our lovely host and hostess while we were in OH. Guess we weren't too hard on them.

More helpers, AJ sat on the package and tore the end open, good thing it was A Donna's.

AJ never run down but these 3 did.

Still in OH

Eighth graders don' get that excited any more.

Amanda , Ashley and Morgan all got new dolls, but this is the only one I had a chance to take a picture of.

This is Rob dressing the doll, but darn he turned his head.

AJ was pouting on the steps, he was told not to go up.

Still enjoying the family

Isn't he too cute?

She is so sweet!

Anxiously awaiting!!

Still in OH

The women are always the ones slaving in the kitchen. Clinton always volunteers to slice the prime rib, guess why?

Are they precious or not? Grandma B is always telling me how ornery they are, but I don't believe her.

Amanda got a scooter from Santa, of course she could already ride it.

Mrs Santa had an elf named Wyatt helping her.

Christmas in OH

I think they were playing school, but not sure who the teacher was. AJ thinks Morgan is taking all the crayons.

Do you think they might be brothers?

No teacher and they are just perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the tired hostess, alias Mrs Santa Claus.

The last of Christmas in cold IA

#1 Granddog gets to do whayever he wants.

We had a wonderful Christmas and those timers sure worked good. #2 dog was on the couch and wouldn't come out for the picture.

Ryan carried her in for this picture. This was great to be with them. Bob is holding Onx so he stays still.

Still having Christmas in IA
