So you maybe looking at the name of this post and thinking to yourself, "wait a second, it's not Christmas yet, we still have a few days." For you, yes you are right, but not for the Legates family. See my husband has to work Christmas day, so we had it early (we did something similar for Thanksgiving, because my husband also had to work on that day) we had our Christmas on Sunday. IT WAS AWESOME! We opened presents, ate a big meal, and played games together.
The big thing that I got my youngest kids was the Tardis, and for my big kids, I got them Youth Digital Mod Design.
My two oldest are interested in learning code. My oldest in fact wants make a career out of it. This program teaches you how to make mods for Minecraft using Java, and it teaches you in a hands on way with videos. The kids, so far have made their own sword, and put it in the game. Jeremy and I also started to watch the videos, because we wanted to learn too.
As far as other gifts... Darien our oldest got some amiibos (which is nintendo figures, and you can use in some nintendo wii u games), a nintendo online game shop gift card, and the new Woolly Yoshi game. For Zachary, we got him an Ollie, a cool heat changing mug, a Dalek desk guarding thing, and a lego set. Nathaniel got a lego set and a bunch of Imaginext figures and play sets. Olivia got some princess dresses as well as some My Little Pony figure sets.
It was a really good Christmas, and I can't wait until next year. :)

Do you Minecraft?
First I want to start off and saying that I'm sorry for the gap in post. I things are really ordinary around here, and I haven't had mush to write about (I think I almost always use that excuse about a gap in post) (well sorry about that too).
We have a new favorite thing around here in the Legates house, and it's Minecraft. We started playing a few weeks ago (all of us really), and we love it, and wonder how we have ever lived without it before. Minecraft in a big building sandbox kind of game. You can chose to play survival mode, where you need to acquire all of your resources to build, eat, and survive (there are monsters that try to kill you), and there is create mode where you are given unlimited resources to build and create whatever you what. If you are going to give survival mode a try, I recommend watching these videos. Jeremy and I have teamed up on survival mode, and it's been having so much fun. He would mine, while I added on to our house, and feed the animals. I also love create mode! Being able to create anything you can thing of is very rewarding.
I've known about minecraft for sometime, well I knew that it existed, but I didn't know what it was about. The boys' friends at co-op just kept talking about it, and that's what made us curious. The game can be downloaded on to almost any computer (no mater how old), and they have a version for the xbox. Jeremy and I play on the computer, and the boys play on the xbox, and yes both allow for multipliers, so yes basically we can all play at the same time (and we totally have). Also for all of you frugal people, the game is only $20, no matter what version you get.
I just had to share, because it really is an awesome game, and it's one that makes you think, and lets you be creative.
Oh and I've been taking a picture each time I change our classroom board. This year my goal is to make the board fun and interactive, so here's what I've come up with so far this school year. Tell me what you think. :) (click on the pictures to make them bigger)
