The babies loved all of their gifts and it was entertaining to watch the adults try to pry the toys out of their boxes!
Olivia in her Xmas Eve outfit
Took 6 steps yesterday towards grandma lou's biscotti lol.
Linbeth with hungry Olivia.
Lucas with Grandma Lou.
They got a little impatient waiting for dinner, so we allowed them 1 gift each...
Lucas and the cook--Aunt Pauline.
Lucas took a break outside with Ken, and Bailey--Jerry + Linbeth's doggy.
Aunt Pauline helped get Lucas' guitar out-he loved it:
Linbeth making the crabcakes :)
Ken playing with Olivia--still wondering where her food is lol.
The babies' appetizer--edible arrangement :)
Olivia laughing and playing 'peek-a-boo'.
Granny with Uncle Jerry preparing the batter for fried zucchini, potatoes and cauliflower.
Lucas hangin out with John's stand-in :)
CaCa has arrived! (Lucas calls grandpa 'caca')
Linda finally got off work!
Olivia fake-walking..
Pauline and Ken preparing the halibut and salmon.
Lucas wearing out Linda on the stairs.
Hodge's waiting to say grace already!
Yum.
Everybody's full!
Time to open presents!
Louise recycling twist ties for caca's garden.
Linda and her Elvis bust :)
Both of their favorite toy: the phone...even though (or maybe because) Lucas already had this phone in VA.
Their second favorite toy: the stairs!
And of course they love playing with Linda!
And finally, Xmas day!! More Eating!
Lou mocking Stan lol.
Jerry + Linbeth's turn to carry the princess.
One sip of wine and my face is red!
Thanks for taking this pic Ken--last one still eating of course lol. But hey, I was busy feeding Olivia! :)
Video calling Johnny :) Love you honey--5 more days!
This was a funny Christmas; John and I spent it with each other's parents :) Wish we could've all been together. Merry Xmas!

Samantha,
It looks like you guys had a warm Christmas. I really like Olivia's Christmas outfit, she looks so girly. I laughed at the caca part awww LOL :D
I can only imagine what it must feel like to want to see your honey. I can't wait until you guys get to reunite :(
looks like an awesome Christmas. i'm glad lucas got that guitar...its really cool i play with it everytime i see one in the store. they all look so much older. you look great! also the food sounds amazing.
thanks! yeah, i tried to keep olivia looking girly and cute for these pics lol...usually i put her in whatever is first in the drawer! it was a nice Xmas, but i wish all of us couldve been together--I miss my mom and brothers/sisters too.I have always wished that both our families were close :)
and i think that was you shawna? Yes, i played with that guitar too! and i know they look older/bigger/more mature to me, so you know johns in for a surprise on friday! thank you :)
You and the babies livened up Christmas which would have been another semi boring day of just pigging out. With all the food we ate it helped all of us to lose a few calories playing and chasing down Olivia and Lucas.
thanks ken and linda--i am SO grateful for you guys being in L + O's lives, to help them (and me) get over missing John. They love playing with you guys! I hope we always stay close, no matter how far we live--now that you're so established in their lives, you MUST come visit wherever we end up :)
