Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 358 - A very Montague Christmas

Kicked off the day with some virtual Gangnam Style dancing on the iPad courtesy of Noah ...

Then Ric and Carolyn cooked up a yummy breakfast ...

Then we got ready for the early Montague family Christmas ...

First to arrive were Steve, and Carolyn's mum and dad, Kath and Ken ...

Quickly followed by the rest of the family ...

Noah and Matisse

Steve and his mum

Melissa and I 

... and now with added Darren, Steve's brother, in the background ...

Cousins ... Hugo and Noah

Sweet Stella

Then we began the cherry spitting contest ...

All four siblings - Darren, Brian, Carolyn, and Steve

Sue and Brian

Steve and I

There was LOTS of yummy food ...

The kids had a ball dancing around to YouTube videos and performing for us ...

Then I introduced them to the idea of photobombing which they loved (it's when you dive into another photo not intended for you).

Then we unwrapped presents starting with the stockings from Carolyn ...

Melissa got me a fab towel and very trendy, funky swimming shorts

Sue loved my present - YAY!

The camping chairs that Steve and I gave Matisse and Noah

Stella loved her Gumboots speaker

Each of the kids got glow in the dark finger thingies in their stockings ...

And they played hide and seek while we sat outside - it finally cooled down after being very hot and muggy ...
