Free Comic Book Day 2021

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00957

Today was Free Comic Book Day and as is tradition with me and the kids we headed to Wild Time Comics. There we were each able to pick 5 of the free books. We also picked up some other books for Andy. It was great for us to find some graphic novels that he would be excited to read.

There were some fun things to do at the event today. There were cosplayers and also some cool vehicles. The kids posed near the Batmobile. Eva posed with at least one cosplayer but Andy was standoffish after seeing some of the animatronic items. There are some scary villains and such there. Andy is not a fan and when that happens he doesn’t want to do anything further. He still had fun but just wasn’t in to getting any photos with the cosplayers, even Batman and the Batman was a really good one.

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.
