we voted.

 

we voted.  and by we, i mean i got everyone bundled up and headed out into the snow.  luckily, it took longer for me to get everyone loaded, unloaded and loaded again than it took to cast our vote.  no line!

this was the second big election in carson's short five months.  when he was just four days old we took everyone to our polling place to vote in our state's historic governor recall election.

 

 

after voting, it was off to the mcdonald's drive-thru.  this has somehow become a tradition of sorts.  not that i'm complaining as i was looking forward to my large coke.

 

 

and the last batch of these came out of the oven to snack on tonight while we watch the returns.  so thankful to live in a country where democracy is alive and well.

I would like you to move to Chicago and live next door to me so that we can share desserts. Ok, really, so that you cook and bake and I benefit. Ha.
Also, I'd babysit for cookies.
