I wanted to do something special for Graeme for the run up to Christmas and had read online about a special Lego Star Wars advent calendar which I knew would have been perfect. The thing is when I saw the calender it was back in October and I thought far to early to be thinking about Christmas. When I saw it again in my local Tesco we were in the middle of packing for the big move and again I thought "I'll deal with it all after". So alas to say, I missed my chance and by the time we got around to thinking about advent they had sold out... everywhere!!
In some ways though this was the best thing to happen when I actually looked at the items you got in the calendar they were all very small made of only 4 or 5 pieces and although fun were a little bit pants. So instead I took Graeme on a mystery trip to Legoland and let him choose which set he wanted and what set do you think he choose...
The Lego Star Wars X-Wing!!!
Graeme also decided he wanted to do one in return for me so I chose the Lego Star Wars Ewok Attack set.
It wasn't as easy as that though when we got home we split the packs up into 24 little bundles and put them into 24 envelopes with a Christmassy design on each. Then we strung them up on our new bookshelf with these very cute little pegs.
The perfect advent calendar and much more exciting to build a little piece of a big toy each day. Today we finally finished off our builds and they look great. We will definitely be doing this again next year, they were so much fun to make!!
And lastly as I am unlikely to post over the next couple of weeks, I'm wishing you all a fantastic Christmas and a happy New Year. Hope you a have a good time and I can't wait to catch up in the the new year!!
