Visiting La Salette Christmas Lights 2014


Photo-A-Day #3534

Today was a busy day. We did a bunch of our Christmas traditions all in one day. Andrew and I did play group in the morning and he napped in the afternoon, which was good because the day would be a long one. We went and got our tree, shopped for the rest of the Christmas is for Kids toys, visited La Salette and also had our yearly post-La Salette Bliss Bros. dinner.

Andrew and I headed over to Attleboro Farms to meet up with Allison and Eva and pick out our Christmas Tree. Eva wanted a Balsam because we stayed in The Balsams room at the Christmas Farm Inn.

Amiibo Loot Crate


Photo-A-Day #3533

Loot Crate partnered up with Nintendo to offer a series of special edition Loot Crates. These crates would feature the Nintendo Amiibo characters. Amiibo is Nintendo’s Answer to games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity. Amiibo is a little different though. The figures act differently for different games. I picked up Super Smash Bros for Wii U and the figures can be used in that game. They retain the level of the character and other power up items. I also picked up Mario Kart 8 and with that game the Amiibo grants your Mii character a special suit. Allison and I played a four race tournament together and the game is very, very fun. I haven’t played Mario Kart in a few years and I had forgotten how fun it can be.
