MiMi brought over the newspaper for a photo op! :)
Carter was ready for the big day and Mallory was ready to do some puzzles...I broke out every single one we had so I could watch TV all morning! :)
Carter enjoyed watching the president elect ride to the Inauguration in style...
There was lots of reading going on and various other activities in the midst of it all! But Mallory was so good to let me be distracted all morning with the festivities and watching history in the making! :)
MiMi joined us around lunchtime....
Look at all the people who came to see this pivotal moment!
The swearing in....Mallory was too busy cooking in her kitchen in the playroom to witness it!
What an amazing day in the life of America! The kids were all decked out in their "Obama Gear" thanks to Aunt Laura! (Look how little they looked when they received it in the fall!) Thanks for the idea Katherine to document history as it was unfolding! I can't wait to show the kids these pics when they are older and tell them where they were and what they were doing on such a special day! :)

Yay! Love it! I did the same thing and took pictures today as we watched tv! Your kids are the cutest ever!! (except for Claire of course)
Take a closer look at the pic with Carter on his belly watching President Obama's Limo. Who's that third baby in the corner of the picture???

Love that you got pics of the kids and the TV on in the background! I did the same thing- at least I can tell them that they DID witness it happening, even if they can't remember it!!
