Today was the big day. Feliz Natal, Frohe Weihnachten, Joyeux Noël!Right on queue, o Menino Jesus arrived. He, and his Mom & Dad, are recent additions to the scene...well, at least these representations of them are...a gift from E&J while on vacation with them in Provence in 2000, I think it was...
There are still a few thigns to be done, I have my elfin helpers coming tomorrow, so we should be able to finish every last tiny detail.Lots has been done since my last post - the train station and bakery are complete. Now all the arriving passengers have a spot to pick up a scone and coffee.
Also tossing in this cozy picture of the windmill (made by Vóvó in I think 1948!) and the deer family climbing the hillside behind it.
The trains are running too - but you'll have to wait till tomorrow to hear about that!
In the words of Old St. Nick..."Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Phew - what a relief to know that Menino Jesus made it!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing all of this in real life soon and hoping you've mixed the magic shrinking elixir so we can really get into village life!
