Days Leading Up To Christmas ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01814

Everyone had the day off today so we worked on a few things leading up to Christmas. But first dad came down from the Cape to fix the kick plate in the bathroom. We had discovered that the outlet had been wired with too much power. He was able to fix that and connect the new kick plate so we’ll have heat in the bathroom now, just in time for the weather to get colder.

After Dad finished and left I ran out to Target to pick up a few more gifts for Andy.

Target was nuts. Allison took andy earlier in the day to shop for me for Christmas. Andy found things for me and also plenty of things for themselves. One thing that Andy got was a LEGO Floral set that makes a Floral centerpiece for the table. I did not know that they would enjoy something like that but they did. We had it on the table for dinner tonight. Allison sent me things that Andy picked out and I placed the order on the Target app to pick it up at the store. That was crazy, everyone else had the same exact idea.

I was there for a while but I had my audio book to keep me occupied. I’ve got 4 books left to finish of these series. Then I can re-listen to the Eragon series. But in between I’ll read the latest Percy Jackson book. We all watched the second episode of Percy Jackson together this morning. The series is shaping up to be really great.

Before I went to Target I went to Wild Time and pick up some comics. Randy had the mannequin set up to look like Star Lord Santa. so I took a selfie.

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.
