Oh what fun it is

It was a very Star Wars Lego Christmas for this Jedi master builder

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and if it does, Sam and I can haul it away

Norman Rockwell couldn't paint it better

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Max popped out his first tooth this morning, which he's been wiggling for a few weeks now. He quickly showed it to everyone in the family, including Sam, who inspected it with and without sunglasses.

Max also did a tour of the neighborhood so all his friends could see his missing tooth.

Our house is going to be a busy spot tonight with both Santa and now the tooth fairy stopping by!

Sam had a minor procedure today at Swedish Hospital to remove a lesion on his leg. He was a little trooper. As soon as he came to and heard the word "popsicle" mentioned he perked right up.

He's home now resting the best a three year old can!

Star Wars

The first of two Christmases came today when we went to see Star Wars. We've been counting down the days and it was definitely worth the wait.

Max Skywalker and his [breathes heavy] father

My dad took me to see the original Star Wars in 1977. It was the first film I ever saw. Today three generations of Greene men enjoyed the latest movie.

Little Luke got some looks and love in the mall.

And what better way to cap off the day then checking out some Star Wars merch?!

The Force was strong today.

Now, let's just hope Max doesn't spoil any of the surprises for Elisa or anyone else!

Seeing red

After a three-year-old's temper tantrum, two trips to Woodinville (Santa was out sick the first time), one really bad lunch and nearly an hour-and-a-half wait, we finally made it to see Santa.

I was determined to get our annual Santa photo in spite of it all and I'd say this year's picture was well worth the trouble!
