Advent Calendars for the Kids

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01066

Usually I am right on top of getting advent Calendars for the kids. For some reason, this year, I completely dropped the ball. I bought two for myself to use for my YouTube Channel, but nothing for the kids. So, today Andy was wondering where the Advent calendars were and I felt pretty bad about dropping the ball. I first looked to amazon but you can’t get any calendars before December 20th and that is far too long a wait. So, I went to Target, Walmart and Five Below. I only found something once I got to Five Below. It was a cheap knock off LEGO type Advent Calendar for these cheap bricks called Block Tech. It was the only thing I could find so I bought it. I then went to the Mall and when I was in Newbury comics I found the Elf one. This one is at least made by a company I am familiar with. The Elf one is for Eva to open but for the kids to share and the Block Tech one is for Andy. It is cheap and cheesy but he enjoys having something to open each day.

as for my Advent Calendars I have a LEGO one and I am awaiting the delivery of a Playmobil Back To the Future One. I am going to open a window on each every day till Dec 24th. I hope that people enjoy the videos. Here is my first 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...

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.

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.
