I love Legos -- LOVE them. Not only did I play with them as a child -- I have purchased them as an adult -- for myself. Luckily, Maddie is very much into Legos too, so I now have a partner in crime. In fact, today I purchased the LEGO City Advent Calendar for her (and me). I love that there is a little Lego project for each day of December!
And the free shipping from Amazon is perfect -- I swear I've been doing almost all my Christmas shopping through Amazon the last couple of years. This way, when I actually do go shopping at the holidays, it's more for fun -- and I don't have all the heavy packages to carry around (this has so helped my holiday spirit!!)
And to get back to the whole Lego thing. Last week Maddie turned 8 and I bought her the Lego Creator Beach House which is awesome! It makes 3 different houses and we've already put together 2 of them. I love this because Maddie really enjoys actually putting the things together (as do I) so a set that can be reconfigured in different ways was perfect for her.
Fun!!!
Thanks for the idea, my 8 year old daughter loves legos but is tired of the Star Wars sets, I just ordered the Beach House set for her for Christmas.

Hey, don't forget me! I've always been a Legos fan, and Maddie and I built that latest house together.

I almost bought that lego house kit but bought another instead. It's on my son's Christmas list though.
I love shopping from amazon!

GOSH DARN YOU! For the last 30 minutes I've been trying to find out where I can buy a Lego Advent Calendar! Come to find out, there's a Lego store at the mall right by my work, and they have quite a few of them.
So going after work! I love Legos!!!!
