Read MoreThere will be no Easter baskets at our house this year, for the first time in over at least 25 years. This is because we’ll be celebrating aboard the Disney Wonder, which is a pretty good reason. But if the Easter Bunny visits your house today I hope he brings plenty of yummy treats, colorful eggs and of course LEGO. Speaking of the Easter Bunny, check out this wonderful creation by Swan Dutchman. And while you’re at it, see if you can identify the two LEGO themes represented by the two smaller eggs (Easter egg Easter eggs, get it?)
There’s nothing like waking up Sunday morning to the smell of breakfast being cooked over the stove. It’s a great way to start the day and let us not forget that it is the most important meal of the day! -Little John has given us a delicious appetizer for his new series of builds that will probably make me hungry every time I look at them. But above all, this moc shows that every one deserves a healthy and fresh start, even those broken pieces of brown Lego.
Peter Cottontail made the rounds last night, and while I haven't found it yet, I'm pretty sure there's a basket around here somewhere for me. Hopefully yours is filled with all your favorite treats and plastic bricks, not unlike this one from builder cmaddison. Happy Easter everybody!
Marty McFLY would be proud of this. While I don't know the function or capabilities of this device by Si-MOCs, it's hard to imagine there being space in the Delorean for it anyway. Besides, I have to imagine it wouldn't smell terribly good. But hey, fresh eggs!
Schfio has put out quite spread this morning. And what better way to start your day than with a delicious breakfast including cereal, toast, cheese and eggs. I love how the butter has the corner taken off, brilliant. Alright, now I'm hungry.
