They Looked Up and Saw Guest Stars, Shining in the East Beyond Them Far

So, you viewers may have noticed something about over these last 12 days - something that has been sneaking into photos (aside from the jealous teapot).

Let's analyze some key photos over the last 12 days.

Yes it is true - there is yet ANOTHER advent calendar in my house.  A traditional chocolate one for my wife!

As a special treat now that we are halfway, let's take a little peek into the OTHER side of advent calendars - the traditional confectionary side!

Lo and behold!  The guest star takes posession of her calendar!

Hmmm - what day to open??

Ooo - a little chocolate goodie lurks inside!

No building required - just unwrapping!

Then, when the wrapper is removed, it is doubled as a gift to the kitty!

"Is... is this for me?"

"SO FUN!!!"

CITY Day 7 - Play us off, LEGO Advent Calendar (Internet Meme Alert!)

 Day 7 sees the little white Kitty bored of its master, who is left lying on the ground.

Ooh, a keyboard.

I like the idea of using the classic space/city vent style pieces as keys for a keyboard - very neat idea, and gives a great effect!

Here is the completed keyboard.

And the girl decides to get up off of the ground to give the keyboard a go. 

So now we have the girl on the keyboard, the boy on the drums, frosty with the crane toy, and the kitty on the skateboard (wearing a helmet of course).

Of course, I would be seriously at fault if I missed an opportunity for true LEGO Advent Greatness.

IT'S TEH LEGO ADVENT KEYBOARD CAT!

Play us off, LEGO Advent Keyboard Cat!

CITY Day 6 - Have yourself a merry little kitty miss

Wow - now on Day 6 of the city advent calendar.  Christmas time is surely whizzing on by, speeding past like a fire truck! (see inset picture for day 6...)

Ooh! Another LEGO minifig, this time a girl with a little white cat.

Severed LEGO body parts strewn across the set.

Ta-da!  She's really come together now.  It is important to note the difference between male and female LEGO minifigs.  Key differences are:

- Hair instead of hats or helmets
- Lips
- Occasional torso piece with sides painted to look curvy (but still essentially the same shaped torso piece)
- Often times more defined eyes as well

This female LEGO minifig has 3 of the 4 hallmarks of female LEGO minifigs.  It probably doesn't have the 'curvy' painted marks because it is supposed to be a child.  Which is really very silly, considering it is a tiny miniature plastic toy.  But then again, I probably am not one to judge on what can be considered silly, seeing as I have been blogging for five days about two different LEGO advent calendars.

Here the set is coming together, 1/4 the way done!
