Whether or not you voted for Obama Inauguration Day is pretty amazing. Outside of election Day it is one of my favorite days of the year. Patriotic holidays and events are so moving for me as an American and a mother. The fact that my father and husband both served our country in the military only adds to the pride I feel in the democracy of America. To think that 50 years ago my children would not be able to attend the same school and today we have an African American president is amazing! We had an inauguration day party with cupcakes and Obama berry soda thanks to Auntie Ann.
I love watching Bob with the babies - here he is bonding with Lizzie one night - I couldn't stop snapping away while I was watching them!
Closing her eyes and getting ready for those stubbly kisses!
Loving her Daddy!
Annie Bananie eating an inauguration day cupcake - the day before inauguration day - sorry, Auntie Ann but we could not convince the kids to wait so we had to make a second batch the next day!
Silly frosting faced girl!
Annie and the twins in the swing!
My beautiful girl all in pink.! I couldn't resist a few pictures with her Elvis do thanks to grammy running her fingers through it for hours on end!
Full body shot!
Sweet baby girl!
Looking at Daddy and Peter!
And there's our big Lizzie smile!
Daddy and Lizzie bonding !
Happy Inauguration Day, Peter and Molly!
Obama Berry soda and cupcakes before bed to celebrate a new president! Molly was very concerned because they did not show McCain yesterday and she wanted to make sure that he was not sad!She always cheers for the underdog!
Cheers to the new president!
Mommy gets hugs for her party planning!
Auntie Ann got the kids some soda for the occasion. They each got to bring one into school and Peter even brought Grammy and Papa's invitation to the Inauguration in.
And on any patriotic holiday you absolutely, positively HAVE to have sparklers! Yes, they were freezing but it was the perfect end to our celebration and they thought it was cool when all of the cars going by honked at us and cheered.So regardless of who we all voted for our family is now in full support of our new president. We are thankful that he is a kind and good man. We also are grateful for President Bush and the 8 years of service that he gave to our country. Hindsight is 20/20 but not all that useful - I personally believe that he did what he thought was right for our country with the information that he had!
"The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true. "
