Glimpses of Christmas--2018



Our friends and family showered us with gifts this season...







Finally, got a Fitbit!  



Funniest gift of the day...





Santa gifts...
















JP and I have been working on a special gift for Michael for a few months now.  I envisioned a Lego table with storage and found tons of ideas online, but nothing that would really work for us.  That's where my brilliant husband comes in with all my "crazy" ideas.  I had quite a few qualifications:  1.  It must have lots of storage and I liked the storage making the base of the table.  2.  A lightweight table top that looked "neat" and not salvaged (even if it was, I didn't want it to look like it.)  3.  It needed a backboard, so Michael could do his stop-motion videos.   

After looking all over for something already pre-made and coming up empty, JP put together this awesome LEGO table system that fits PERFECTLY!  First, he cut down a free cork board he got from work and re-framed it.  Then, he bought a hollow core door to put on top of the storage bins I ordered from Amazon.  The cork board is screwed to the door for stability and he added a couple of "legs" to also help with that.  

At first, Michael didn't know what he was looking at when he came upstairs for the reveal UNTIL he opened the base plates I purchased and wrapped.  




More blessings...
