Early last week Gavin came running in from the mailbox waving an envelope bearing a return address from the North Pole. He and Arwen excitedly ripped it open to find a note: “Gavin and Arwen, I know you love Legos and thought you might like an early Christmas present this year. Love, Santa.” Out tumbled three tickets to the Lego KidsFest in Hartford. Wow!
Friday afternoon Chad and the kids took the hour trip to Hartford where they explored a wonderland of Lego creations – a true paradise for Gavin and Arwen. (Quite possibly for the kid in Chad as well.) Gavin and Arwen immersed themselves in the neverending Lego pile. There were full-size Lego Ninjago figures, Harry Potter characters, Darth Vader, a giant replica of Lightning McQueen, even a Lego Santa to explore. Chad and Arwen built an intricate house entirely of pink Legos.
Several hours later Chad carried a sleeping Arwen in from the car. The next morning she snuggled up to me in bed, full of news and descriptions from the night’s adventure. With great gusto she introduced me to her many giveaways, including her own brand new Ninjago figure. Looks like Santa is spot on this year!
