We went to a Christmas celebration at one of the mini PX's on post cause they had a Santa there where they let you take your own pictures. Well, we went and they basically had this big bingo game and karaoke. They did have a "Santa" who was in a Santa outfit, penny loafers, VERY fake beard to where we could see the elastic holding it on and a very obvious pillow in his suit. He also did not look happy and had dark circles under his eyes. I was thankful he was willing to do the service of playing Santa, but honestly, I wish they had tried harder to make him look a little more believable. :( Anyway, so, this was the day before Christmas Eve. They had a great Santa at the PX who was only there until Christmas Eve. So we brought the kids there to get pictures. Travin did awesome! He wasn't scared at all! Kind of wish Santa would have smiled, but he was being really sweet with the kids anyway.

Chase had his first Christmas program at school. I had no idea they were having one until a day or two before. He did great! It was fun watching him.

| He couldn't find us at first and got the saddest teary eyed look on his face. Then he saw me. :) |
We got really spoiled having daddy on half days from the 16th on. And then he had a few days off. The boys had a great time playing video games with their dad. School starts again tomorrow!

When I tell him "no," or "ah, ah" I guess I kind of squint my eyes. I kept wondering why he glared at me every time. LOL

Being goofy with Mommy!
After another unsuccessful attempt to save enough money to go and visit my parents in NH, we decided we would head to Tucson to be with Kylann's family. As it got closer to the date, we realized we probably wouldn't have the money to make it out there either. So we decided to stay home. :( I was disappointed we weren't going anywhere, but we've never done Christmas with just our little family. We've always gone to visit someone that day. So it was fun. We ended up having my best friend, Sonja, her two kids and her mom over for Christmas dinner. It was great to have the company. Even though I had gotten sick two days before.
That is another big thing that happened. This may be TMI, but don't read it if you feel it is. After bleeding for pretty much the whole month of December, I found out I was pregnant and was having a miscarriage within a few days. :( It's really ok though. We didn't even really have enough time for the pregnancy to actually sink in. We think of it as another child we get to raise during the Second Coming. This was my first (and hopefully my only) miscarriage. I honestly don't know how I could have handled having two children so close to the same age (18m/19m), maybe Heavenly Father knew that. :) Yes, there is a chance we will have one more child, but I don't think it'll be any time soon. But then again anything is possible. :)
Some videos from December!...
