Spending Family Time Making a LEGO Minifig Puzzle

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00695

Chronicle Books provided us with a free LEGO Minifig puzzle to check out and review. Opinions are my own.

One of the big things around Thanksgiving for us is going to Cape Cod to visit my parents. We have seen them many times during the pandemic and we live in the same state so we stayed safe and were able to visit. Putting together a puzzle during the Thanksgiving weekend is one thing that we enjoy doing together. I will mention that I ended up putting most of the puzzle together because it was sort of my own Zen Time. Once I got into the zone of making the puzzle I just kept at it.

The puzzle itself was very good quality and the pieces fit easily and were or decent size and shape. I liked how the box included a resealable bag for the pieces. I also liked that there was a picture of the completed puzzle inside the box and on both the back and the front. This makes it very helpful when several people are working on the puzzle at once.

As always, when doing a puzzle in our house we search for all the pieces of the frame first and we build that. We did that together ad Andy helped out a lot. My Dad also helped to build the frame with us.

Once the frame was complete it was time to work on the inside and what was nice about this puzzle was that there were many minifigs t the were spaced out evenly and they were all distinct. So what I did was found all the pieces or at least some of the pieces for each minifig and lay them out in the space where they would eventually fit. Doing this made it easy to put each minifig together.

I took all pieces with color on the and laid them around the frame then I put all the mostly white pieces back in the box, those will fill in at the end. This made it simpler to locate the pieces for each minifig.

Once the puzzle was complete it looked ready for framing. I may do that once day and hang it in my office. That is certainly something that would look great in that space.

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.
