Tree Lighting

Karin, Mel and Cami pre-tree lighting in Kirkland
We waited...

and waited...

The tree lighting was late and the crowd started chanting,

"light the tree, light the tree!"

Cami and her makeshift hat = Karin's scarf

Finally, let there be light! It was freeeeezing.

And, as it turned out... it was a fake tree! But of course we still had fun.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let it snow

Record freezing temperatures this week. The kids had two snow days and stayed home with Dad. Cami kept saying, "I want to go to kulo" (how she pronounces school). The city pretty much shut down, the roads were bare and of course, I made it to work. Why can't banks have snow days?
Cami's second observation day at ballet class.
They were practicing for their holiday show where they will perform 'Mele Kalikimaka'.
