Thanksgiving 2025 ...

Thanksgiving 2025

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02508

Today was Thanksgiving. We had a great time with our family enjoying a great meal and time together. Last night we kicked off Thanksgiving by watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The kids enjoyed it and I really liked seeing it again especially after watching "I Like Me" the John Candy documentary.

Family Photo

After our dinner we had some time to relax. I showed Mom and Dad Eugene Levy's show "The Reluctant Traveller". Dad and Mom got a kick out of it like I thought that they would. The show is really fun for everyone. 

Toasting

Each thanksgiving Allison gets the kids come sparkling cider. The kids get fancy and put it in our very fancy wine glasses. They end up toasting repeatedly as they refill their drinks. It is very cute of them to do it.

With Mem and Grandfather

We got some family photos after dinner and before dessert.

Dinner

Dinner was from Firefly's and it was a really good one. We got a turkey breast and a couple of pints of brisket. Then we got mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potato casserole, cornbread and more. Allison made green bean casserole and broccoli. 

For dessert we had Apple Pie, made by Allison, Pumpkin Pie, courtesy of Tara from Coonamessett Farms. We also had a turkey ice cream log from Munroe Dairy and some peanut butter and chocolate tarts from Allison. I had noticed that our neighbor, Joanie, was home and so I texted her to come over for dessert. She came over and had dessert with us. We borrowed space in her downstair fridge for the meal. It is always too much to keep in our fridge.

After dessert Mom and Dad headed back to the Cape. Allison and I went for a walk and then we watched Superman together as a family. The kids enjoyed it.

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.
