Jason was required to go to formation this morning, as I mentioned yesterday in the blog. The formation turned into a class, so Jason sent me a text and said he would be at a class, but anticipated it would be short. I took the opportunity to go speak to a few people there, and wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and the timing worked out pretty good. As it turned out, I was done and back to the building he was meeting at the class, and I only had to wait for about 10 minutes. Actually, I found out, that he was done with the training class and there was a different meeting going on; one in which he received a few more gifts for the girls. The tree is really looking pretty good with a bunch of stuff for the girls.

While Jason and I were at the base (Balboa hospital and Wounded Warrior Battalion) Linda was back at the house working on wrapping a few more gifts and a few more decorations. When we got back to the house we picked up Linda and headed over to pick up the girls, it was now close to 10:30. Jason wanted to go and take the girls to see Frozen, the new animation movie, and so we did, with first a stop for lunch. Typically we don't like to spend money for lunch, because we usually have plenty of food at the house, but this time we felt it would be faster, since the restaurant is right next to the theater. Well, we had plenty of time and the meal was paid for by someone else. An anonymous person covered our bill, and we don't even know who to thank. The movie was fun, though a little longer than we thought it would be. We headed back to the house after the movie, and the girls went to take a nap - they were tired.

Tonight we had a fun and relaxing evening with the girls. We watched a Christmas animation movie, that lasted about 20 minutes, then it was story time and off to bed. Dinner was simple, and that was okay, as it got rid of some of the left overs we had in the fridge. I did get to see some of the Niner game against the Flacons, and was very surprised at the results. I thought the Niners were going to win, but for a while it did look very much like it was going to go the other way around. Tomorrow I'm not sure what we will be doing, other than tomorrow evening when the girls will be going back to their other house. We won't see them again until Friday, and that's when we will have our day of opening gifts. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.
