The 2020 Family Photo Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00722

Each year since 2009 I’ve purchased the Hallmark Family photo ornament. I’m wish I had been buying these ever since 2008. As we were decorating the tree Eva was giving us some grief that there was not baby’s first Christmas ornament with her on it. We have two of Andy but none of her. I don’t know why we don’t have one of her when I took 26,000 photos of Eva in her first year. I guess some scouring of eBay soon will be in order.

When we were deciding which picture to use we did consider using a photo of all of us wearing masks. That would represent 2020 but in the end we used the photo of all of us in or Christmas pajamas because it was the best family photo we had for 2020.

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.
