Have a Thanksgiving dinner, maybe wrap some presents in Christmas paper, take family "holiday" photo... I don't know - be silly. I bet the kids would love it.

Deployments are hard no matter how long they are, and you shouldn't ever feel the need to apologize for the length of his deployment just because others leave for longer periods of time. One thing that really irks me is that you had to justify that your husband would be working hard even though he's in the Air Force--mostly because I always feel the need to do the same. My hubby works 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week,inside planes that are over 150 degrees when he's deployed. No "chair-force" for him!
