For those of you who may not know (ha ha), today is the day to vote on our next president of the United States of America.
In honor of our country we are having a dinner party tonight as a family to watch and listen to the polling as the numbers come in.
What better meal to honor our country than a traditional fried chicken meal? We are making my sister's famous oven fried chicken and I am making some mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it. We are going to have applesauce and some corn and then brownies and ice cream for dessert. OH, and of course some sweet tea to drink!
No matter how I feel about the candidates or who ultimately wins I thought it would be fun to get the kids involved a little bit. The boys have been hearing some stuff at school and asking questions about how this process works so why not make a family event and have fun.

Looky you being all American and stuff. LOL Sounds delish!
The oven fried chicken sounds yummy!
I am going to adopt this with each election. I love this idea. Regardless of how it all turns out, you still have the education value for your children, good food, and family.
Am I too late for dinner? Sounds delicious!
I am so happy I grew up in a home that discussed politics and was actively involved. It makes elections much more interesting!
It is never too early for the kids to learn about the election process! Kudos to you for taking the time to teach them and answer their questions!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love your dinner idea! What a cute way to celebrate the election! Your kids will remember this day forever! :) Congrats on a new baby on its way
Great idea! We had a makeshift little "party"--just ordered some pizzas! Your food sounds delicious!
