An Easter Birthday

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01558

Today was Easter Sunday and we got up and the kids had an egg hunt around the house. They got their easter candy and we all got ready for church. We went to Mass at Sacred Heart and Andy was having a tough time with allergies. So, we left our seats and sat in the foyer of the church. That was when Andy had a coughing fit they could exit and cough outside. I didn’t mind sitting back there with Andy. I had picked a bad seat to begin with. A family that goes to church twice a year was behind us. They really did not know how to act or be quiet in the least. I have a history of picking the worst seats. Eventually the church filled up and our vacated seats were filed.

After church we went over to The Purple Rooster for breakfast. My dad joined us along with mom and Tara, Shelby, Tim and the kids. We were only missing Erik because he had to get back to work. We had a very nice breakfast, exchanged gifts and it was very enjoyable. the kids even played together outside throwing a football around until Andy accidentally threw a wild ball onto the roof of the building. Game over. But before that I had these very tasty berry French toast.

We hung out a bit today and for dinner Allison made a nice meatloaf for my birthday meal. Then I got my cake which Allison and Andy made. It was a lemon cake with a ton of red white and blue sprinkles on it. There are photos but they were taken with Allison’s iPhone so they won’t upload here properly. It was very nice cake with two candles on it, a 4 and a 9. Can’t believe I’m 49.

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.
