When You Have No Christmas Cookies

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01087

I received mugs and hot chocolate as promotional materials for the movie 8-Bit Christmas. I really enjoyed this movie and I am a fan of hot chocolate. I do prefer to have cookies with my hot chocolate but nothing in the house really fit the bill. Eva had made chocolate chip cookies a week and a half ago and even I wasn’t up for them. Plus there were only espresso chip left. I had picked up some of the Gingerbread Oreos and once you scrape out the middle of those they are halfway decent but they just weren’t going to do it for me. I opted for an option that does not go with hot chocolate. I decided on Cheez-Its because I had a craving for those and had bought them on Monday. However, the kids had been tearing through them and I wanted to make sure I got some. So, hence the combination.

Wasn’t half bad.

Today Eva and Allison and I went to see Spider-Man: no Way Home. Andy stayed with Miss. Colleen and Shamrock. They had a nice time. Eva had a great time watching Spider-Man. We talked about the movie on the way home and despite not seeing any of the Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies she enjoyed seeing them in this movie. I loved how they each had pivotal parts to play in the conclusion. I loved the moment with Andrew Garfield and M.J. I definitely teared up on that one. It was a fun movie to watch together.

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.
