The once gas station turned holiday fun has returned yet again and we loved going back this year! Who doesn’t want hot chocolate poured from a gas pump?

New this year, karaoke! And Holmes was a bundle of all of our bravery and lined up first to belt it out! “Jingle Bells,” of course.

Meryl and Frank went on a holiday lights boat parade through the Fremont Canal and around Lake Union! In the rain:)

Nutcracker at the WAC!

Meryl has been taking taiko drumming lessons at school. And we happen to also have a book about a girl who plays a taiko drum and wears a hachi maki, which is a traditional Japanese cloth headband…which Meryl of course wanted to make:) Thank you, Lola!

Our neighbor set up a holiday scene and brought in a photographer, and we were lucky to join in the fun!

We’ll see what the photographer has for us soon!
