Ladybug built the third bag of the Lego Home Alone house today, which included putting down the floor, and more importantly, the front steps into the home!

Home Alone
Advent 2023–Day One
Blessed Advent!
For the fifth (and maybe final…we’ll have to see what the future holds as far as big Lego sets we like) year running, we’re building a special Lego set as an Advent project. I’m super excited about this one…instead of being related to a trip we’ve taken, it’s connected to one of favorite Christmas movies…it’s the Home Alone house! I’ve actually been holding on to this set since it came out, so it feels like we’ve been waiting forever to build it. To start, Turkey built the foundation of the house:
But more importantly, he also built the bandits’ van, and the bandits themselves!
I really can’t wait to see how the house comes together, and I’m especially looking forward to discovering all of the details from the movies that are hidden in the set!
Symphony Saturday
In September, Bunny and I got to go to Powell Hall to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire while the St. Louis Symphony played the score. Moose received a similar awesome birthday gift, and today he and I got to go see Home Alone on the big screen while the Symphony played.
We were really excited to see Powell Hall dressed up for Christmas:
We had plenty of time before the movie to takes pictures and have a holiday-themed drink at the Met Bar…Moose had an eggnog, and I had the special…poinsettia punch:
Our seats were great…I think we had the best spot for hearing the music!
At the beginning of the year, I had never set foot inside Powell Hall, and now I’ve been there three times…once for a tour, and twice for “Live at Powell Hall” events. This is definitely one of my new favorite places in St. Louis!
