2008 Election

In honor of the first presidential election in Kate's life, we decided to let her stay up a little later than her usual bedtime tonight. I get all nostalgic during times like this remembering how four years ago we had no idea how we'd be blessed with our precious girl, or that we'd be living back in DFW, and so many other things... and eight years ago Cody and I were watching the election results in our apartment while munching on some fresh homemade snow ice cream after braving the weather to go vote - and who knows where we'll be in four more years!

Kate enjoyed watching the red and blue colors pop up on the tv screen and finding lots of Rs and Ds. She also was very excited when she saw John McCain's face on the screen since she met him at the mall a month or so ago and has been talking about him ever since (click here to see a picture as definitive proof!). Eventually our girl got tired of waiting on all the votes to come in to see who will make it to the 270 mark first, so we let her go on to bed instead of waiting with us on the couch. But it's starting to look like this may be the first year since Cody and I have been old enough to vote that we have a good chance of going to bed knowing who the next president will be.

Have any election night memories to share?
