Belated Birthday Photos ...


Allison’s Mini Simba

Okay so I’m a loser. It has been nearly a month since Allison’s 26th birthday party and I have yet to post a message and photos about it. Mind you I had attempted to do this weeks ago while I was on my first trip to Vancouver. I had the time and the photos and I had even written a great message for the Blog. But I saved over the message and was so frustrated that I was not in the state of mind to properly rewrite the message. So that being said here are the photos from Allison’s Birthday.

On January 10th Allison turned 26 and a fun fiesta was had by all at La Carreta in Manchester. Allison’s friends Beth, Jenn, T.R. and Tina were in attendance as well as Ken and Alicia and Allison’s parent’s Dan and Marcia. We had some mega margaritas and great Mexican food. Allison got some very nice gifts and some, how shall I put it, ‘interesting’ gifts from the trouble triplets. Tina made a very special basket for Allison, and Ken and Alicia got Allison a transformer, and no she won’t let me play with it. Willy was on hand to pre-read one of Allison’s gifts and tell Ken what the best pages were. We got the newspaper treatment when the birthday fried ice cream was delivered. It was a fun night for all.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
