The last thing you want to do is mess up his LEGO creation. So when LEGO told me to create my family online using LEGO minigures, I thought woo hoo!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI absolutely enjoyed creating my LEGO minifugure family; the only problem is that I enjoyed it a little too much. I was literally giddy. Igwe says that when we have kids, it&#39;ll be hard to tell me apart from the kids. Apparently, I play too much, and I play like a child. I smell jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI didn&#39;t know what family exactly to create: me, my mom, and my dad? Or me, Igwe, the twins, and the dog? I chose the latter. I was going to add my mom and dad to it, but Igwe might get jealous that I didn&#39;t add his own mom and dad, so I just went ahead and did it with Igwe, our twins (called Twin 1 and Twin 2), our baby daughter, and our dog, called OtitoDiliJesu (meaning Praise The Lord). Maybe we&#39;ll call him Tito for short. Haa!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Minifigure.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 394px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnyway, so this is my LEGO minifigure family. From left to right, it&#39;s Igwe and our baby daughter, then me and our dog OtitoDiliJesu (shall we call him Tito or Jes?), and our confusingly identical twin boys with a smirk on their faces. This is us at our winter vacation cabin during Christmas. It was really cold, but thankfully, we had a little fireplace to keep us warm and cozy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThese minigures were so easy to create, not to mention, fun! I had the option of changing the looks of the faces, skin tone, tops, bottoms, heads, and hats. Even the dog had different skin tones &#8212; or maybe fur tones. And then, when I was done, I also had the option of changing the scene. It started off with us in the snow, but I changed it and made us inside a cabin.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCheck out this instructional video&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/app.socialspark.com\/clicks?lid=31725&amp;oid=11370205\" rel=\"nofollow\">LEGO Minifigure Family<\/a>&nbsp;and then go create your own LEGO minifigure family. You will thank me when you&#39;re done, and don&#39;t be shy if you enjoy it too much.
