Election Day 2016

This election had us all banging our heads against the wall. It has been an ugly campaign for both parties, that left the American people frustrated. We have kind of been dreading this election because neither of the candidates made us very happy. But, we voted and made our voices heard. 
 We had a patriotic dinner and some good discussions about our voting process and what was happening with the results we were hearing. The kids were just happy to get hamburgers for dinner. 
 Mommy made her first homemade apple pie. It was the best part of our night!
 Adam wanted to stay up all night and watch the results. We stayed up pretty late listening to the news. We woke up to learn that Donald Trump had won the election. We were relieved that it wasn't Hilary, but we also have our reservations about President-Elect Trump. We can only go forward now and pray for him and his staff that they will make righteous decisions for our country. No matter the outcome of this election, we wanted our kids to know how lucky they are to live in the United States, to have the ability and freedom to vote for new leaders, and to enjoy all the freedom that we do. Those are thing that make America great and we are so blessed to be able to live here!
 But, Mommy was secretly hoping this would magically happen...
