Friends: Advent Calendar Day 24 [REVIEW]

Day 24

On the last day of the 2013 Advent Calendar we receive a beautifully wrapped blue present. I'm surprised there wasn't something a little more exciting, but the blue tiles are desirable. Let's put it under the tree.

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 23 [REVIEW]

Day 23

Squeek squeek. We get a squirrel. She goes in the perch for the tree that Day 22 brought us. She is the same squirrel from set 41017 Squirrel's Tree House. I wish she was a different color. That would have been nice. But it is great to get an animal. There is one extra bow.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 24!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 22 [REVIEW]

Day 22

Day 22 is the perch that goes on the Christmas tree. It's really cute by itself as a container, and will look nice in the tree. There is an extra white round 1x1 plate.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 23!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 21 [REVIEW]

Day 21

Day 21 brings us a music sheet for caroling. I can't quite tell what the other piece is supposed to be, whether it's a flashlight, or a megaphone? I honestly don't know. 

Edit: User ericjohn on the Friends Bricks forum brought to my attention that it is most likely a lantern.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 22!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 20 [REVIEW]

Day 20

O Christmas tree O Christmas tree! This tree is adorable, but I think the 2x2 green cone is a little too big. I think a 1x1 green cone would have worked and looked a little more proportional. The tree topper is very clever and we get an extra star to go with it. There is also an extra round 1x1 trans pink plate.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 21!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 19 [REVIEW]

Day 19

Warm your hands by the fire. This build is really neat as it uses the SNOT technique. Everything except for the flame is upside down. It is beautiful in it's simplicity. There is an extra flame and brown flower piece.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 20!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 18 [REVIEW]

Day 18

This snowman has been working out! The build is very sweet and comes with a rare purple beanie hat. There are no extra pieces.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 19!

Day 17

Oh my goodness this MP3 docking station is so flippin' cute. The 1x1 round plates look like speakers and the back even uses a telephone piece to act as a handle, reminiscent of a boombox! We get one extra 1x1 round plate. Pump up the jams!

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 18!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 16 [REVIEW]

Day 16

It's Day 16 and we get two pairs of skates and flowers with some snow on one of them. There are four extra pieces including an extra skate.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 17!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 15 [REVIEW]

Day 15

Have a seat on the pretty blue bench. This is a lovely mini build. I love the medium azure tiles. There is an extra brown 1x1 round plate.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 16!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 14 [REVIEW]

Day 14

It's a frozen water fountain. What a cute detail using a crystal piece as an icicle. There is an extra flower piece.

See you tomorrow for Day 15!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 13 [REVIEW]

Day 13

Day 13 brings us the attachment to the snowmobile from Day 2. You can put a present on it, but you can also put a minidoll on it there is the modified foot plate.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 14!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 12 [REVIEW]

Day 12

We are halfway there and today we get some presents! The yellow one look a little like a cake, but the green one represents a present well. There's an extra flower too. Hopefully we see a tree soon!

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 13!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 11 [REVIEW]

Day 11

Cha ching! Some LEGO money to go shopping at the vendor stands. This is a bit lackluster, but I do like the 1x1 round pearl gold tiles (they make good doorknobs), one of which is extra. They will both fit in the purse with the $100 bill, but you have to squeeze it in.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 12!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 10 [REVIEW]

Day 10

I think we found what goes in the pink container from Day 9! Some fun purple accessories which are the same color from the Pet Salon and the Dolphin Cruiser.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 11!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 9 [REVIEW]

Day 9

This seems to be some sort of display stand and container. There are three extra pieces. I hope we find out soon what these are for.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 10!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 8 [REVIEW]

Day 8

Coffee, milk and pastries. Day 8 is yummy. We get four extra pieces, so you can make another pastry!

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 9!

Friends: Advent Calendar Day 7 [REVIEW]

Day 7

Day 7 brings us another vendor stand. I like the leaf decoration and the blue sloped tile. It's nothing fancy but it's not disappointing like Day 6.

Hope to see you tomorrow for Day 8!
