The Palace movie theater on the left and the firehouse and city hall in the middle were all from previous years. The firehouse got separated out of the box too long before it got built, and is missing some parts that are around here somewhere, but not yet located.
The building on the right is the Emporium, which we got and built yesterday. It is so awesome!
Not pictured but also atop the piano is the haunted mansion in a similar size and style as the other buildings, but with no flat sides. I think I also have a village shop that, like the firehouse, had the instruction separated from the bricks. I keep all the instructions and sort my bricks by color but it's still a slog to find the right parts and we haven't found the time yet. Maybe when my nephew visits!
Later in the day a friend of the house who works for Lego brought by a gift... a Lego set to build the Tower of Orthanc from Lord of the Rings. It looks huge. It has a lot of black bricks.
Max received a smaller set from The Lego Movie. Both boys received small sets for little creatures and such too.
And there's more! Xbox games for Lego Hobbit and Lego Movie were under the tree as well.
A very Lego-y holiday indeed.
Meanwhile, we have a pirate ship from a previous year that is kind of falling apart because it's been on a busy shelf, and a Christmas village themed set we used to build each year but don't anymore, plus a Lego train that is in a box. I think we're starting to run out of room unless we get rid of non-Lego items in our life.
