Happy Election Day! It has been fun to have the kids aware of and interested in this year's Presidential Election. I think that Joel and Kaylee will each remember it. I know that I will. 
Such an historic election! I just could not pass up the opportunity to celebrate!Steve and I got these three miniature Beanie Babies eight years ago as part of a McDonald's Happy Meals promotion. We thought they might be worth some money one day, and have saved them these many years. Today, however, seems an appropriate day to give them away to our kids, to help commemorate this historic day. The donkey is named "Lefty," the elephant "Righty," and the bear is "Libearty."
The two candidates: Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama.
My patriotic table, complete with The Grand Old Flag.
Tonight's menu? Hot dogs & fries!

Very cute! How cool that you've saved the beanie babies, and now can pass them on to the kids. I hope you guys have a fun night.
Thank you! We did have fun. This morning the kids were asking who our new president was. Kaylee had hoped to meet John McCain at the White House, but despite her disappointment she colored pictures for each of the candidates which we will send to them later this week.
Hey- Where'd you go? Did you run out of steam? I know you couldn't have run out of inspiration... ;)
