At Home On Election Day

My family will be celebrating Election Day returns together. Our kids will watch the returns with us and learn about the process. We plan to prepare "the family dinner table" with Hamburgers, Hotdogs and pasta salad. The girls are going to cook a white cake and mix raspberry Jell-O which will be poured over the cake after they have pocked holes over the top so that the liquid Jell-O can seep into the cake. Once refrigerated and Jell-O congealed frost with Cool Whip and decorate with blueberries, raspberries to create a patriotic flag design. We will decorate the house with flags and red, white and blue décor and settle down for a night of exciting election returns. Mostly, the excitement of teaching the girls about the voting process, the Electoral College process and about how the Senate and the House of Representatives function in real time real life learning.
