Thanksgiving 2020

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00696

It certainly was a different sort of Thanksgiving this year. While we did go down to the Cape to visit with my parents, which we do yearly, it was a more distanced sort of event. Everyone was keenly aware of the pandemic and we spent much of the time inside. Allison and I did go for daily walks along Great Bay but we had our masks at the ready all through the walk. We had a great meal together. Mom was able to secure a turkey for us from The Windfall along with all the fixins and this was one of the better turkeys that we have had. I ate so much more than I have in the past few years. Not sure why but I enjoyed it more, I guess.

It was a nice day all around. We watched the parade and the highlights of parades past. We watched the movie The Christmas Chronicles 2 on Netflix and it was a fun movie. We watched Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey last night and that was really nice. Great music and dancing. In order to fully appreciate the holiday season we tried on our Christmas jammies.

This is a yearly tradition and I think I’m going to have to drop down a size in the future. The pants were a bit big on me. I wish you could mix and match sizes, though. I like an XL in the shirt and large in the pants. The kids were excited to have their Christmas jammies and it was the start of the holiday season.

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.
