play therapy

Our entire family was stressed out a few weeks ago from work (and in my younger brother's case, school) so Mom decided to bring out our old Lego too help everybody relax. We sat on the floor and got to work.

It was the first time for my niece, Ellie, to Lego! She's four.

 We all got down on the floor to work. Ellie was amused.

My masterpiece... and Ellie in the background. 
I am especially proud of the truck I made from scratch!

It's nice to look away from the multiple screens once in awhile and go back to creating with our hands.
