The happiness of waking up with my brother and go straight to the Christmas tree looking for the Lego sets Santa had just delivered : )
I thank my parents today for all the Lego they gave me, it really influenced the way i approach problem solving today…

I couldn’t resist posting a picture of one of my favorite sets, still a family story… my Lego Shell tanker (Lego Town 671 / 1978)…

This Christmas i’m getting (ordered through Amazon, arrives at the end of the month) a new Lego set… The new Technic with PowerFunctions… go check it out at Lego website…

In the meantime i bough a simple set i found in the local supermarket, quite nice for a City set… i love yellow Lego : )
