Swedish Christmas village

While I was in Stockholm, the kids helped Mormor with a very important Christmas task in this house: setting up the mini Santa village.

Unpacking:







Well, the village is actually huge, 4,4 meters long (!) and in many dimensions, but the Santas are small.
Mormor has been collecting these miniature Santas for quite a while, and every year it's a challenge to try and find new ones in the right scale to move in.

Under construction:







Finished result!





It's a very detailed little Santa village. It has everything from working street lights to Santas arriving in airplanes and hot air balloons!
Check out the little birds in the trees:



Santa nursery in front of the toy shop:



Some of this years' additions:



A Santa that Lucas placed, he's a "Grumpy old Santa, under the bridge" (Think 'Dora the Explorer'!):



A lighthouse, some ducks and a fishing Santa:



Another Santa Lucas placed, he thought he should be watching the flag, that it could be nice! Mormor kept moving him back a few times because she wasn't all comfortable with him standing on the corner, but Lucas moved him out again each time, and I think he won in the end..!
