The Christmas Gift That Finally Arrived

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01121

Allison’s parents sent her a very special gift for Christmas but it never arrived. Back and forth we went with UPS and while they insisted that it was delivered. We got no message that it had arrived and it never showed up on my UPS app. When we got the tracking number we looked and it said that it was delivered but it never was. So, Dan tracked it down and come to find out the first time around it was delivered to the wrong address. Luckily it got sent back to the UPS store where it originated but then my in-laws had to pay to have it shipped a second time. Luckily it finally arrived and Allison now has this special edition Cookie Basket that is prominently displayed in our kitchen.

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.
