3 from Christmas NOT counting the 2 Advent Calendars.

Two of the three Lego kits from Christmas, NOT counting the two Advent Calendars, have yet to be built. The Tree House got built pretty quickly.

So, given the backlog I didn’t want to get another BIT (expensive) set.

It was somebody’s 17th birthday today & Legos are ALWAYS the BEST presents for her.

I looked around. Saw this. Though she is not into ‘cars’ as such, this looked special. I was RIGHT. She likes it. I do know what she likes.

I get a feeling that she will start building this one this week. SMILE.

The Lego ‘Tree House’ Is Complete — & Looks Good.

The three BIG Lego sets she got for Christmas
not counting the Advent Calendar & a small kit.

It didn’t take her long — but then again it wasn’t that big & as such have as many pieces. [Nice touch by Lego: they provide BOTH green & orange (i.e., fall color) foliage. How cute. She opted to go with the green (because that better matches the colors in her room).]

Not as fancy as the $400 ‘Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle‘ she got last Christmas — but this is what she wanted this year. The TYPEWRITER was a surprise & she is itching to build it. I want her to do the flowers next ….

Yet Again There Were A Few ‘LEGO’ Boxes Under The Christmas Tree.

Two or three years ago, for the first time in well over 20 years, there were NO LEGOs under the Christmas tree (or trees, given that we have two big ones each year). The kids didn’t want any. I was visibly upset when it hit me — NO LEGOs under the tree.

Since then, luckly, things have changed. Legos are in demand again, & I am delighted to oblige. They are a great ‘investment’. I consider Lego money well spent!

So, these three Lego kits this year — NOT counting the Lego Advent Calendar.
