ABD Trunk or Treat 2022

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01395

We had a great time at the annual Trunk or Treat at America’s Best Defense tonight. Eva and I had put together the trunk and she helped me give out the candy to the kids. We went with a pirate theme because that is a costume that Eva has and one I could easily put together for myself. I would like to get some other pieces for the overall costume in the future but for now, it looks good.

Andy and Eva

Andy was a strawberry cow and he had so much fun running all around and playing with his friends. He invited his friend Bella to come for the night and he introduced her to his friend Hailey and the three of them went from car to car several times over. They also went to the Haunted Dojo a couple of times, too.

At one point towards the end of the night I found the three of them doing candy swaps on the ground in the parking lot. They really enjoyed their time together.

Eva and Dad

My friend Liz had a LEGO themed trunk and my friend Mia had a Nintendo themed trunk and they were right next to us. Liz took this photo of Eva and me at the end of the night.

Eva put together a great list of Sea Shanties for us to play while we gave out the candy. We also had some funky lights and additional decorations to round out the theme. We even had some candy left over but that is because we handed it out rather than let the kids just take it. Little hands can hold a surprisingly large amount of candy.

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.
