Here's where the grandparents roll their eyes and sigh

No matter what your political bend is, you have to admit, Presidental Inaugurations are powerful things. The peaceful transfer of power for over 200 years is awe inspiring. The rest of the world can hate us, but America does it right...no matter if it's your guy up there or not.

We didn't go. I feel a little bad not taking the kids to be a part of history, but the thought of taking my children into that huge mix of people plus the constant post September 11th "what ifs" overrode any history making desire. None the less, it was a day off for everyone so we all stayed in our jammies and watched the country get along for a few hours.

That evening LeighAnne and I headed to the grocery for milk and lo and behold:



an Obama Cookie Cake!!!!!

So, being that 2/3 of the household was for Obama...and it was feeling like a bipartisan kinda day, we had the ultimate patriotic dessert after dinner. Maybe we weren't a part of history, but we made historical memories that day!
