Lego Christmas Village Update

I've posted before about our Lego Christmas Village - it all started three Christmases ago, when we bought Santa's Workshop. Last year we added The Bakery. My son was so excited about the prospect of creating a winter scape that he designed "Main Street" - the base for all the shoppes and holiday revelers to gather. Lego had a custom design site where you built your virtual, custom Lego creation - then you could buy all the pieces and create the actual thing at home. So the boy measured out how big our village was going to be, designed a road (complete with a bend in it) and ordered the pieces required to build it. The buildings are Lego Sets you can buy - my son only designed the road that runs through Main Street. And he sets up where everything goes (which takes a lot of planning on his part!).

Here's our busy Main Street - the horse carriages are popular this year.


Coming right at the horses - the modern snow plow - this came with our new Winter Cottage.


We're able to spread all the little elements out - the carolers have their own little city square this year:


The Toy Shoppe:


Is next to the Bakery:


The skiers are coming into town:


There's an ice rink in town:


Even a photographer to capture all the action:


I don't have a picture of the completed Winter Cottage because it just got set up yesterday and these pictures were taken the previous week - I hope to get it done this week along with addressing Christmas cards, making cookies and the list goes on and on!
