Today we finished quite a few things on our "to do" list. Some of them involved cleaning up certain rooms, or putting decorations away. But there was plenty of time for play as well, as here you can see Madison finished a ski lodge for her LEGO friends:
She did this entirely by herself, and she's been doing the LEGO Dimensions constructions by herself as well. She asked for LEGO items for Christmas, and these have been fun to put together, all of them. This skit lodge comes complete with a hot tub, a hot chocolate bar, beds upstairs, a kitchen area, a fireplace and more. The roof opens up to show the sleeping area upstairs, and as you can see in the picture, there's a snowmobile that comes with it as well. We're apparently ready for some more snow!
Daddy finished up a lot of the details and writing for the Fasting Devotional today, which we should have all proofed and ready for printing by tomorrow. That was a good portion of the day. Mommy has been working on the ancestry trees online, and Madison has been back into the High School Musical movies again.
But as far as trilogies go, tonight was the end of the Middle Earth trilogy, at least the original one. We finished "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy with "The Return of the King" tonight. It is a pretty epic amount of time we've been in Middle Earth this week, but Madison has loved it. It's a bittersweet ending, of course. The three of us have been so immersed in Middle Earth, that's it's almost like it's been our vacation destination for Christmas Break. Obviously New Zealand might be a little far to go for us this year. Maybe some day, right?
Tonight we also finished "The Nutcracker," which ended with a more familiar theme of celebrations, candy and toys. It was an unusual read, and Maurice Sendak's illustrations certainly complimented this peculiar story. We enjoyed it, although the tradition of the Nutcracker ballet has sort of etched itself into our collective minds as the true story of "The Nutcracker." This one by ETA Hoffman was a nice read though, for Nutcracker enthusiasts.
The year is winding down, but it's been a quiet week here. Daddy left the house one time to return some books to the library, and that was literally the only time we left the house since Christmas Eve. Tomorrow, we may venture out, but otherwise, it's been a relaxing week here. Daddy has worked a lot, but we've also played a lot too: we're continuing with LEGO Dimensions, bumper cars, and building things. Basically, we're having a great Christmas break.
