The Oli bumper holiday extravaganza!

Well, I've saved up a few pictures from the holiday season so everyone can see what the Monster has been up to. He had a great Christmas day filled with presents, food and karaoke. Unfortunately we didn't get any snaps of the young man with microphone in hand, but those who have seen the video footage are giving him rave reviews.
Without further ado, here are the best snaps of the season...

Oli got his first present on Christmas Eve: His first set of cars! (Thank you Sarah Claus.)

Christmas morning: Time to break out the presents...(thanks Grandma, Granddad and Great Gran for this colourful spread)

Ripping into them after a bit of encouragement.

Happy as a...kid at Christmas.

Some awesome woollen finger-puppets from Ian: Bat and Echidna. (Not pictured: Parrot.)

Christmas Take 2 with Nana - The giant keyboard. Jealous? Yeah you are...
Little man putting on an Ice Hockey display for us in his Toronto Leafs jersey :)
And here we are a day later, still in his Leafs jersey. He wore it to bed, too.

Just before we managed to get it off him and into the wash...
Face-painting! Thanks to Aunty Louise for that one.

Checking out his 'Slim Dog' face in the mirror.

Kitty keeps a pretty close eye on the Olimonster...

The Children's Gallery at the Melbourne Museum: communing with the sea creatures.

The biggest caterpillar that this little man has ever seen; imagine the size of THAT butterfly...

Hanging with Dad in the Rainforest at the Melbourne Museum.

Oli loves the Museum.

Happy New Year
