The Family that Legos Together

What does your family do to spend time together?  Do you have game nights, watch football games, or play a sport?  Maybe you ride bikes or do crafts.  Well, in our family, we build with Legos. 

My husband has always been a Lego fanatic.  We have so many tubs of Legos in our basement, I am pretty sure we could save money by just using those to finish our basement.  Despite the abundance of available Legos, he still loves getting new sets to put together, and he has passed that love of building with Legos to our children.  His parents have continued to get him new Lego sets for birthdays and Christmas as long as I've known him.  And so, his Lego collection has continued to grow. 

A few years ago, my mom started getting Billy and my brother each a Lego set for Christmas.  They, subsequently, would race to put the sets together that night.  The first occurrence I have documented of this event is in 2010.  Billy got a crane and Brian got an airplane.

 

Over the years, Billy's collection has grown to include the Sydney Opera house, the Batmobile, a Star Wars B-wing Starfighter, several Technic trucks, and the Ghostbusters Echto car (among others).  Now, the children have also started to build their collections.  Audrey really likes the "Friends" Legos sets that are targeted to girls, and she got several of those this year. 

So, without further ado, here are some of the shots I captured of our family's Lego obsession this Christmas.
