What a great review of the year! And I just spent the last hour continuing our work on that same exact same Lego set, I gotta say GO EMMA! Do you have it done yet??

It was a specific request from Liam this year and our website has a good reaction of his face. (third picture from the bottom: http://www.watrgate.com/2009/12/26/christmas-day/)

I think it's going to take us another week of work to get it done!
