OBAMA party

So... Shaw being Mr. Political... like really... watches MSNBC all the time... at 6 in the morning, while we work out at the gym, hardball's always on at 4 in our house. So to say the least he has been looking forward to January 2oth for a really long time. Inauguration Day. We planned on having an Obama Party... which means Michelle and the kids come over and the neighbors if they don't have anything better to do. We had rules to come as either your favorite African American or something political or nothing... so I guess our rules aren't really rules.

Shaw had some issues while trying to watch the Inauguration live. The power went out... so he hooked up the generator in order to watch it live and to be able to record it for me. That's commitment. I missed the jumbled up swearing in but got to watch his speech.



Michelle and the kids came as stars and stripes.

I was the statue of liberty.

And Shaw's costume kept changing through the night. He was wearing a black velvet suit... so was a guy named Black Velvet from a show on MTV, a politician, a rocker or just really happy... depending on the photo.

We had some very tasty ribs with potatoes, rice and salad. And king cake for dessert. An overall good time!

Yes, We had a great time!!! I think that we are just too cool (or too corney) to always be so creative to dress up.
