We Tried to get to all Christmas Traditions

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01448

Each year we have several Christmas traditions that we do. This year was a little different with our upcoming trip to Florida. A couple of things did not end up happening. the kids trees never got fully decorated. We didn’t end up going to La Salette or our post Christmas Lights meal at Bliss.

We did, however, get the kids ornaments for their tree. this year they were hand made. Andy’s was made from stickers from Rock Spot where he does his rock climbing. I found a funky carabiner to use and Eva helped me put everything together. Allison made Eva a pig with a crown to symbolize Technoblade, the Minecraft streamer that Eva enjoys and who passed away this year. She was overjoyed to receive this ornament.

It would have been nice to have had those trees decorated but hopefully we’ll get that done next year.

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.
