Akemashite Omedetou!

A Christmas/New Year's visual mash-up! (Bonus and selected parent copies below, or check out what you missed.)

Yume and Pops.

Rollin' in a limo.

O-shareta!

Vampin' on New Year's Eve.

Super freakin' cute!

Sugar castle, go!

We young-uns three.

I get my game on, courtesy of The Legend of Drizzt board game, with old pal, Aaron, and his two boys, Keith and Garret.

Fuji-san peaks above the clouds beneath the wing as I return to Japan.

And so, from us to you, may 2012 be a blessing; full of peace and joy!

Merii Kurisumasu!

Yume comes to enjoy Christmas with the fam; her first trip to America.

Even Quinto, our dog of 14 years, got in on the festivities.

Stockings (and a kiss)!

Happy face, GO!

Quinto takes a peak.

Dad (button-up), Yume (hoodie), and Trevor (wool cap) sport their new duds.

Then it's off to Union Square in San Fran!

We stop to take pictures in front of the tree…

…and with the world's largest rainbow-clored angel (or mascot for the Gay Pride Parade)!

But this tall drink of water took the cake for the evening. If you ever have need for a five-course dinner, song/dance/acrobatics/stand-up/cabaret-style extravaganza, the Teatro Zinzanni in SF is the place to be!

And that's not all. Stay tuned for more!
