 New Year's food.

 Eating a crepe at a New Year's festival.

 Yuri had one too, though didn't get quite so messy.

 After the festival, we went bowling.

 Yuri won 3 goldfish at a festival in August. They've been living in a pot outside ever since. At night the temperature sometimes drops below freezing, but not long enough for the water to freeze over.
If you're having trouble finding all 3 fish, here's a hint: one of them is grey.

 It's late January, so Spring has started.

 Emily doesn't do things halfway. Time for a puzzle? No. Time for 6 puzzles. At the same time. All pieces mixed together, and most of them upside down.

 Found this on Yuri's desk. Translation:

 First day of Spring (under the traditional/lunar calendar) starts in a couple hours. These flowers got an early start. Today was almost 60°F.
