Design a Christmas scene.
You may build a house decorated for the holiday, a wreath on a door, an evergreen tree, an airplane hanger with some special Christmas flare (for all you plane/rocket/space ship lovers - my kids included), a present, a part of the Christmas nativity, it's your build and your imagination!
I don't have any examples to show you from the original Lego Quest but if you need some inspiration here are a few and there are lots more on Pinterest or Google.

Quest #11 - A Loved Book
"This 'month's' challenge is to create something from 'a loved book'.
You can design anything you like from this book, like a character, an object, a scene, a design or even a feeling.
It can be directly inspired by the colourful pages of a picture book. Or it can come from deep in your imagination influenced by your favorite novel. What I would love to know, is the name of the book you are getting your inspiration from and the author who wrote it. And of course, what you are calling this creation and perhaps something about it that tells a little of the story in which it came.
Your creation might make others want to read the same book! Go for it, have fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Here are the cool book inspired creations that came in from around the world from kids like you!"
Submission photos are due to me via email (legoquestforhomeschoolers@gmail.com) on Friday, November 21st.

Our server is fixed
We had some server issues this last spring which delayed the posting of our quest #8 results. It has been fixed for sometime now but I think I was carried away with summer and forgot to post them. My apologies! I will attempt to get them up this week! Thank you!

Quest #7 - Spring
"Spring is the transition period between winter and summer. It is seen as a time of growth, renewal and new life for both plants and animals.
The axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt towards the sun, which warms the Earth and causes new plant growth.
What does spring mean to you? Create something out of LEGO that reminds you of spring and tell me about it.
Here are the wonderful spring inspired creations kids from around the world made for this challenge."
-Lego Quest
I'll just add that Spring also reminds us of Easter and the new creations that we are in Jesus Christ, our Lord. We welcome any Lego creations along this theme as well.
Submissions due to legoquestforhomeschoolers@gmail.com by April 18, 2014.
In Minnesota it's currently 13 degrees with a healthy layer of snow on the ground. I'm hoping that by mid April the snow will be melted and we'll be close to packing away the winter gear! Our family will just be a couple weeks away from the end of our school year by then. Anticipation!
