Well although this was our weekend for the flu bug we still managed to have some fun. And this weekend really helped me remember one of the many reasons I love being a military spouse. We started off saturday with a post christmas parade, it wasn't very long maybe 12 floats but they toss out enough candy to fill a grocery bag. Then I spent the rest of the day working on Christmas gifts. Today we went and got our Christmas tree, and for us this was a special thing as it has been 3 years since we have had a real Christmas tree in our own home. We had to wait in line for over an hour but we got our free tree and just sat there smelling it for forever(we're dorks). Then we spent the afternoon at what the base calls Jingle Jam. The kids got to sit and get pics with Santa, watch a military police dog demonstration, play on a hemmtt firetruck, bounce in jumpers, ride ponies and make crafts. Along with having hot dogs, funnels cakes, hot cocoa and cookies and mind you all of this was free. Life in the military is hard but on days like today when they give you back just a little it makes it easier to deal with the harder stuff. It was a lot of fun. Then we came home and got our Christmas tree up and it is the most beautiful one I think we have ever had! Merry Christmas everyone!
