LEGO Hess Truck

I've always associated Hess Trucks with Christmas. My brother and I got all the toy Hess Trucks for Christmas they released from 1985 to 1988, and there were those very Christmasy commercials for them on television. We also used to go gift shopping at a mall where there was a Hess station right nearby.

I've been reminiscing, and I got inspired to build a LEGO Hess Truck!





I'm quite proud of it. A tractor trailer is kind of a departure from the things I normally build. I wish I could get the lights to light up, but it's good enough as it is.

Gingerbear Cookies!

It is a tradition in my family to make gingerbear cookies. My mother and I made some this year.



The cinnamon candy is supposed to be a heart, but we were unable to find heart-shaped ones. Even hearts aren't really heart-shaped though, so I think it's alright.

LEGO Daniel is a little bit cold.

He came in like a wrecking ball!

I saw this at Target and had to get a photo.



All he wanted was to break your walls.

Faces Of Peppermint

I definitely wasn't expecting to find anything that would top the slang word, song, and hilarious sheet music cover, but when I looked up jelly beans on wikipedia, I also looked up candy canes. Not only did I find their history, but I also found this masterpiece.



The child clearly was so excited upon seeing the sign that he dropped his books, and his mittens just fell right off his hands. And whether or not they have that stance and clenched, possibly trembling fists, if you see that look in anyone's eyes, you'd be wise to stay out of their way.

LEGO Daniel is all bundled up for the cold winter weather.

And he's been building snow sculptures, such as this classic minifigure!



He also built this snow owl! (Not to be confused with the snowy owl.)



Then there's this Classic Space snowman who rocks the snow guitar!

mallow:yam

During dinner on Thanksgiving, my sister felt the mallow to yam ratio was unsatisfactory, but we were out of marshmallows, so she put fluff on her yams. I was trying to decide what to call it. Flufferyammer or Flufferspudder? Fluffertater doesn't work, so don't even try it, pal.
