Skip

I also should give a little detail about Grandma's new dog Skip. Mike gave this to her for Christmas and when I was over at her house this week she made sure Wesley saw that he was breathing and brushed him. She told him that the dog sleeps all day and gets up to go to the bathroom while she's asleep at night. She seems to really like Skip, but did say that he should learn how to "bow wow" or something . . .

WHEW!

Here are some pictures from our Christmas Eve Bash. As you can see, everyone's true colors come out when Skype gets turned on - this bunch is definitely wacky and wild!

Now that's a big shoe!




One of the happiest things about Christmas this year was having all of the Gary Starkey's together in one place for the holiday. We couldn't believe what Santa brought Skylre.... a size 18 shoe! That's actually what he wears! Ashton holds it up to see if it will fit nicely from her rear view mirror like other mom's do with their little boys' shoes..............


HO HO HO


Santa brought Gary
a PHX SUNS hat!

Christmas with the Grandkids


A few nights before Christmas we loaded up two cars, went and had pizza at Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa, AZ and then went and looked at Christmas lights together. Here's Derek, Mary Kay, Noah, Gary, Devin, Elise, Jared and Elise at one of the stops.

ROCK STAR GARY


WOW! Gary sure knows how to ROCK OUT! Christmas Eve, he and his brother Stan put on a performance over SKYPE while both of them played their guitars together. It was really quite a sight to be seen.
Here's a picture of Gary with his guitar from our view here in Phoenix. Stan put on a similar performance at the same time from Wichita.

Christmas with the Talbots

Elise, Jared, Amber, Noah, Derek and Devin all had fun at the Talbots, looking at lights and playing games with Mike and Grandma.



Wait, look over there! That's right we saw what looked like Santa and his Sleigh up in the sky. Good thing we were all good this year. We had a very Merry Christmas together.

We thought the fire on tv was better than our real gas fireplace. Pat thought this was showing contempt for our fireplace! BUT it had crackling noises!
