That's a wrap!

Whew! Finally, here are some of our Christmas pics from this year. It was a fantastic holiday having Janie and Jessie here from Oklahoma to celebrate with us. I hope your family had a warm and wonderful season as well! Ho Ho Ho

These are the napkins from Molly, Colin, and Bambino Yames in Texas. The ones from Kansas say "Merry Christmas, you guys."

Jessie, Janie, and Mark under the Starr Christmas Tree.

Opening presents Christmas morning. Grandma Janie finds out about her granddaughters.

Daddy Marko imagining what next Christmas will be like with 2 little bambinas.

Santa dog managed to bring something special for Blue - all the way from Canada, apparently.

Looks like Santa has had one too many spiked eggnogs this year.

Grrrrrr - MAD DOG! MAD DOG!!!! Blue donned a white beard for his role as Santa.

White Christmas in Olathe.

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

Blush and Bashful

Well, we had another "Level 2" sonogram on Wednesday and the doctor told us we are having two girls. This contradicts the earlier doctor - who told us at 13 weeks that one was definitely a boy. We have another appointment in four weeks where we fully expect to hear that we're actually having two boys....Stay tuned. It's a nailbiter. I think the sonogram pictures below are amazing. Both are of the head (profile) and shoulders looking up.
Sweet Baby A

Sweet Baby B (if that's not Mark's profile, then I don't know what.)

The Weather Outside is Frightful!

The snow has started to fall here in O-Town. Blue is so excited he is begging to go out every 15 minutes to roll in it (I'm guessing he's making snow angels). Here are some early pictures. More tomorrow! Stay warm everyone!!!

Thanks Family!

My family sent us a beautiful centerpiece of flowers from balmy Beaumont, TX today. Thank you so much! They are beautiful. They probably pitied us for the snowstorm we're getting hammered with right now....

The Candy Chronicles

This year, I decided to break my usual Holiday baking tradition of pecan balls and spritz cookies and venture into the candy realm. And, it worked out very well! Below are the pictures of the butter caramels and marshmallows I made on Monday. Unfortunately, only few remain of each. What will we leave for Santa on Monday night??? Better go get some Oreos.

Couple of Misfits

...One of our favorite Christmas specials - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I'd like to make a long distance dedication of this video to my Dad, the dentist, and Colin, the misfit...

So Happy Together......

After many long, steamy summer months, Blue has finally been reunited with is old friend Jack Frost. We had a inch or so of snow yesterday. Enough for him to get reacquainted....

Gettin' Rowdy...

This is a sad victim. A reminder to all of how "snow frenzy" can quickly snowball out of control.

Merry Christmas from the Campbells

This might officially be the funniest thing Kristen and I have seen in a long time. Who knew my mom and Jesse had such amazing dancing ability. Click the image above for a special holiday performance from The Campbells.

The Royal Tannenbaum

Here are some great shots of the Starr Christmas Tree.

Sony's waiting for the presents...

Blue and Sony enjoying the festive season.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.............
