Happy New Year! 2011 :)

John finally flew in on friday, New Year's Eve. Olivia was a little scared at first, but Lucas was immediately excited. We had a family BBQ on new year's day, to welcome John home. I haven't taken many pictures of his visit, but here's what I have so far:

Olivia excited to see grandpa outside getting the BBQ ready.

Louise prepping the ribs with a dry rub, and the tri-tip :)

L + O playing nicely together with their million toys.

Ken + Linda gave them each a birthday gift already! Olivia turns 1 yr on the 6th, and Lucas turns 2 yrs on the 12th, the same day dada turns 27--but he won't be here to celebrate it...he leaves on the 8th...but next time he comes back (in late february) he will never go back to the ship again! We are almost done with the Navy!

Lucas got a choo choo train that blows bubbles---2 of his favorite things right now:)


I love that they put her gift in a victoria's secret bag.

She got a cute little outfit, that she tried to put on herself :)

Thanks Linda and Ken!

Bubble train!

Everyone waiting to get some ribs and tri-tip which was "resting" lol.


We missed you dada. It's so much easier and happier when you're here :)


Thanks Stan and Louise for all the delicious food! We had a nice new years day. Happy 2011!
