I chanced upon this Lego display at the city.
That is a whole lot of Lego!!
Wishing everyone an awesome year to come.
The fourth of ten children, I guess that makes me fourth in line. There are many stories to tell, lots of pictures to show, and much love to be shared.

The King and the Queen missed out on the best years of their daughter's life by letting her live out in the woods with the three good fairies for sixteen years.
The first fairy (Flora) gave the Princess Aurora the gift of beauty. Really? What does that say about her parents? So much for genetics.
Prince Charming had only just met the young princess. In fact, I think he only met her once. The movie was right. How could he give her true love's kiss?Oh no. Is this a sign that I am growing up?
