Not that I think Abby would choose this costume for herself were she old enough to tell me what she wanted to be for Halloween, but I think all in all it doesn't matter what she is, she's just so dang cute. Drum roll please.... She was an
Official Ballot for Halloween!
Obviously the first race on Abby's ballot is the presidential race. The other three are for local candidates that are on our ballot.
Dan was the
Official Ballot Box where people could cast their vote, and I was the
Poll Worker. I handed out ballots and pencils to people. After they cast their ballot in Dan's 'Vote Here' slot, I then gave them a patriotic sticker that said, 'Vote November 4th.'
We had fun tallying up the votes. I can't guarantee that there wasn't a bit of voter fraud, but our two outcomes went like this:
Ward Party-
McCain=24 votes
Obama=21 votes
Darth Vader=1 vote
Dan's Work Party-
Walker (Dan's Boss)=12 votes
McCain=3 votes
Obama=2 votes
So my final plug is this: Don't forget to go vote tomorrow if you haven't already voted. Then thank goodness, we'll have this campaign season O-V-E-R and have deal the outcome whether it be McCain or Obama. Yikes!
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
Obviously the first race on Abby's ballot is the presidential race. The other three are for local candidates that are on our ballot.

I'm trying to post a comment this time...I hope it works. I can totally see Dan doing something like this...what a funny guy. I love it. Super cute post...Abby is just too cute for words...by the way, you look GREAT!!!
love it. I showed everyone a pic of abby at work and they thought here the cutest baby girl ever (of course).
so so cute Britt! I love the family costume- very clever and creative and civic minded! We sent off our votes, even though it's not looking too hopeful. I did get to vote for Prop 8 in California so that's a bonus!
How creative! And really, I would expect nothing less from your clan.
