Voting

** I have had lot of people comment and email asking about Mia's jacket and shoes. The jacket is from Gymboree and it is ADORABLE in pictures and even cuter in person!! It is a velvet feel material and it is lighter weight so it works well here in Southern California where it never gets too cold. You can check out the jacket here.


The shoes are Pedipeds Giselle Flex brand and they are the best shoes in the world!! I love these and they go with everything. If you buy these you will love them too!! You can check them out here.


Back to the original post:


Mia and I did our civic duty and voted yesterday at our local fire department. We got there around 10:30am so there was no wait at all. Mia enjoyed the whole process and since it was her first presidential election, I figured I would need to document the event.




Smile before we check in :)




Mommy checking in to vote.




Obviously I was unable to photograph her during the actual voting but Mia was allowed to place the ballot in the ballot box.









After she put the ballot in the box she (and mommy) was given an "I VOTED" sticker- which by the way got us a free Starbucks!!






A few more photos before we leave. Notice the "I VOTED" sticker on her jacket lapel.





Yaaaaa!!!! ALL DONE!!!!!

  13. Gymboree is currently having a sale of 30% off your entire order, woo hoo! I went yesterday and got Gracie some cute things. Love the line that Mia is wearing as I love pink and brown together. I almost bought the same coat for Gracie.

    We voted at the mall last week. Ours are on the computer so Gracie didn't have as much fun as it looks like Mia did.
