Last night, I decided to take The Little Brick to the LEGO store for the monthly store build. This month, it was the cutest mini racing plane. I was *sure* she would love it.

Advent Vent: LEGO Advent Calendars
We were in the LEGO store last weekend when we ran across the new advent calendars for 2014.

LEGO Ghosts Costumes Now in Minifigure Bins
Last weekend, we made a quick visit to our local LEGO store. We’re in the middle of trying to build the LEGO Creator Green Grocer, but not having much success. Once we went through our stash of LEGO, we only had about 33% of what we needed to complete the build. Then trying to
