What a Day!

Inauguration of our 44th president and 4 inches of snow in Raleigh - all in one day! Needless to say it made for quite an exciting 24 hours!

We had already planned to have an inauguration day party Tuesday night - celebrating one of the most significant historical events in my lifetime! The party went on, with my family (who only live about 2 miles away) and neighbors in attendance. We had a politically-themed menu which included:

• Left Wings and Right Wings
• Campaign Trail Mix
• "Lipstick on a Pig" in a blanket
• Victory Veggies
• Red, white and blue chips and salsa
• Red wine, white wine, and Blue Moon beer

The coolest, however, was the cake we were able to get made at Target - I think it turned out great! And it was too funny when the kids were fighting over who was going to get to eat Obama's head. Personally I had a piece of his ear and it was quite tasty :)

Then - to make the day even greater - Raleigh got snow! Zenna was thrilled - this is only the 2nd snow she's seen. The first was on her 4th Christmas, when amazingly it snowed the day after Christmas, and her grandparents had just gotten her a sled for Christmas! So she got to break out the sled and enjoy the snow for a second time! We were out and about at least 6 times, with one rousing snowball fight of mom and Zenna against dad. Zenna got in one good shot for dadddy - right in his ear! A great time was had by all!

Needless to say - it made for one exhausted girl by the end of the day!
