Day 24, and it's the last door on the Lego Friends Advent calendar. That must mean that it's the best door, right?

It turns out, it is. You can clearly see that from the evidence, and from the excellent and jaunty top hat that the evidence is wearing.

#LegoAdvent
A photo of a cheery-looking rather round white cat with a pink nose and reddish-brown whiskers wearing a black top hat. The cat is standing on a dark trans-blue pedastal made from a 2x2 trans-dark blue brick with a 2x2 trans tile with a single hollow stud on top.

Day 21 (albeit late in the day) and my Lego Friends Advent calendar can clearly tell that my feet have been cold all day, because look at this adorable mini fireplace.

#LegoAdvent
A tiny Lego fireplace, in tan, light bluish grey, reddish brown and medium nougat. A little flame is in the fireplace, and there's a cookie on the mantlepiece. A round green and red wreath hands on the short section of visible chimney.

Day 20, and I think the Lego Friends Advent calendar is showing us that Jonathan (Paisley's dad) has been sent out to chop wood so that Paisley and Ollie get a chance to play with the toy train.

#LegoAdvent
A photograph of a small Lego set. On the right, a minidoll of Jonathan - a light nougat man with reddish-brown hair and bear and bright light blue eyes - is sporting olive green trousers, medium nougat shoes, a dark azure shirt with two pockets and the sleeves rolled up. He's also carrying a black hatchet, and he's standing in front of a chopping block made from a round 2x2 brick with grill lines with a dark tan 2x2 tile with a single hollow stud on top. There are two small logs in view, each made from a reddish brown 1x1 cylinder with a 1x1 reddish brown tile with wood grain print on top; one of the two logs is standing upright on the chopping block, ready for splitting.

Day 18, and I'm pretty sure that my Lego Friends Advent calendar is telling me that my life would be better with cookies and milk. And I have neither.

Woe.

#LegoAdvent
A photo of a small Lego kit. The kit consists of a table or tray made from a 2x3 medium nougat plate with two 1x2 reddish-brown palisade bricks for legs. On top of the plate are two mugs - one yellow, one dak pink - two 1x1 round tiles with cookie prints on them, and a 1x1 medium blue brick with a milk print on it, topped by a 1x1 double slope piece serving as the carton top. I'm hungry now. And I can't even eat cookies any more!

#legoadvent day 18: fun little model of a U-Wing, which I have named Patrick.

I thought of that name right before posting...in the Knick of time, really.

Day 17, and my Lego Friend Advent calendar has brought to me... well, I'm not sure, to be honest. I think it's possibly a breakfast tray? With some kind of... mixer attachment?

Anyone got any suggestions?

#LegoAdvent
A photograph of a small Lego table or tray with various items on it. The tray/table is made out of a 2x4 medium nougat plate with two 1x2 reddish-brown palisade bricks as the legs, a consistent colour scheme with a couple of the other mini-builds from the calendar. On top of the nougat plate is a white bowl, a dark pink 1x1 brick with a double-sloped 1x1 brick on top - representing a carton of some kind, like a milk carton or juice carton, along with a bright light yellow rounded 1x2 plate with hollow studs containing two white round pieces that I think represent eggs. On the back left corner of the plate is some kind of mixer, made from a combination of 1x1 round plates with hollow studs in red and yellow, a 1x1 round red cylinder, a yellow bar with claw, and a light bluish-grey plate with hinge attached to the claw and which holds a whisk. I'm not sure what it is that's being prepared...

Day 16, and my Lego Friends Advent calendar has produced... a train! I'm very curious as to who in the family this is for.

(My betting is that the kitten spends time riding it around)

#LegoAdvent
A photo of a tiny Lego train, in three colours: green, red and blue. The train consists of an engine and a single carriage. The base of each part is a 1x3 blue plate with a blue rollerskate at each end. The body of each part is in red; the carriage is a red 1x2 grille brick and a 1x1 red brick with handle that serves as one half of the connector linking the two halves of the train together, with a green 1x3 tile as the carriage roof. The engine body is more complicated, consisting of a 1x1 red plate with a 1x1 technic brick with pin hole as the cabin and front half of the connection to the rear carriage; there's a green 1x1 tile used as the cabin roof. There's a 1x2 rounded red plate in front of it, with a round 1x1 double curved plate forming one half of the engine, and a round 1x1 plate with bar holder supporting an inverted 1x1 green cone, which serves as the chimney at the front of the train.

Day 14. and the Lego Friends Advent calendar has confirmed what all us aunts and uncles have always known - what small children desire most in this world is noise-making devices attached to speakers. I like this little set, and I think it shows Paisley's interest in music nicely.

#LegoAdvent
A small Lego kit consisting of a small microphone stand and a speaker. The stand is built from a 2x3 lime plate, with a round 2x2 dark pink tile with single hollow stud on top at one end (the stud being for a microdoll to stand on) and a yellow 1x2 plate with upraised arm at the other. The upraised arm has a pearl gold bar holder with a claw at the top, holding a black and silver microphone. The speaker stand base is a 1x2 dark pink plate. On top of the place is a black 1x2 brick with a technic pin hole in it, into which fits a light bluish grey 2x2 dish. On top of the black brick is a 1x2 yellow plate topped with another 1x2 black brick with a pin hole in it, into which is inserted a light bluish grey 1x1 round plate with a hollow stud, creating the impression of a small speaker above a large speaker. On top of the second black brick is a 1x2 lime jumper tile, on top if which at an angle is a 1x2 medium azure tile with a smartphone print on it.

Day 13, and I had to go and look up the name, but the Lego Friends Advent calendar has produced... Emily! Emily's a microdoll in other Friends sets, so I'm guessing this calendar is set five or so years before the current timeline.

#LegoAdvent
A photo of a mini Lego set consisting of Emily - a brown-eyed baby in lavender swaddling - lying in a rocking crib. The crib is made from a 2x3 white plate as the base, with inverted curved 1x2 coral slopes at each corner forming two long rockers, and two 1x2x1 panels (one at each end of the plate) with a 1x2 white tile in the middle. To the left of the crib is a light aqua baby bottle with a handle.

Day 11, and I'm rather tickled by this buildable snow castle. I may have spent some time flinging cylinders ... I mean, snowballs ... at it with yesterday's catapult. Although to be honest, it looked more solid before I knocked the lightbox while plugging in the USB cables.

#LegoAdvent
A photo of a tiny Lego snow castle, made from four 1x2 white bricks topped with a mix of 1x2 light aqua and medium blue tiles, two 1x1 white bricks topped with light aqua tiles, and three 1x1 white bricks topped by... little medium blue triangular pieces. They're stacked on top of each other to build a three-towered castle, ready to have cylinders fired at them from yesterday's advent catapult.
