Instead of coloring a map this year, we made a cookie for every state. It was a very last minute idea, but the kids were very enthusiastic about it so we went full steam ahead. Abby meticulously carved the initials into each cookie:
We tried to do a big election night spectacular, but time ended up being short and we ate mac and cheese, chips and dip and these star spangled sandwiches. Plus the cookies, which we originally thought we would frost red and blue but then decided to just eat as they were called. And Benji kept track of the electors on a white board:
We were so nervous and tired or hearing the insipid commentary, we turned the whole thing off before 9 and sent the kids to bed, so it was not among our finest events this year.
