Lego Holiday Village

Back in October we were at Lowe's looking for fall flowers for the yard. Kip spotted the Christmas decoration aisle and quickly fell in the love with the idea of getting a holiday village display. Space and expense were my main concern about starting down that collectible path but a few days later we had the idea of getting a few of the holiday Lego sets and work together to build a holiday village. The thought was that it would be a fun activity to do as a family and we could easily take them apart at the end of the season for easy storage and save/assemble them for the next year. Kip was thrilled.

We got started on the Main Street shops with trolly set ahead of Thanksgiving.

And then we worked on the tree, skating rink, and holiday house when Jagee and Poppa were visiting. 

Our sideboard works perfectly for the display. A little faux snow and twinkle lights elevate the winter scene. 

I like that they can be turned around and and the kids can play with the interior details.

We added Kip's Santa sleigh and reindeer that he got last year. 

And Mandy and Kip created a couple of original designs. 

Mall visit Santa

And a holiday market coffee hut complete with a hipster barista. 

And now we have a new tradition! We will take them apart and store each element in a labeled bag so it can be reassembled next year. Super fun to make and play with all season long! 

And the Lego fans in the family are happy!
