Holy Crow.....as Bella would say, It's my 100th post! I was going to do a 100 meme but never got around to writing 100 things....so I decided I would share our family dinner night because I love to share these nights! They mean the world to me! I will reveal the giveaway at the end of the post!
After work John & I drove up to Conway to the girls house to have our family dinner. We went to an Italian restaurant called, "Due Amiche". Our conversation was mostly about the election. Both girls got to vote for the first time in this historic election!
I had to take the usual family dinner photos so I could blog about the night.
This was the first one I took of Tori & Meg.
I didn't like the first picture Tori took of John & I so I asked her to take another one. She video taped us instead. Here is the video.

This was the first one I took of Tori & Meg.I didn't like the first picture Tori took of John & I so I asked her to take another one. She video taped us instead. Here is the video.
I took this photo of the girls and told Meg she looked constipated. That got the ball rolling on all the laughter....the loud laughter and all the silly photos!
So we took another with the girls posing their best constipated face!
So John & I "tried" to give our best face as well.....
we couldn't stop laughing.....
and laughing.....
Meg took the camera and said, Come on give me your best constipated look.....we tried again. Not knowing she was videoing this time. *If you are offended by cuss words don't watch*We laughed so hard my make-up kept on running and John was crying!! We always have good times like this when we have family night!
After we hung out at the girls house and socialized with their friends for about an hour....they headed off to Hendrix college for an Election party and we headed to our friend Mo's for one as well. Both Obama & McCain gave awesome speeches last night. I would like to say, "Congrats to our 44th President Elect Barack Obama!!
100th POST GIVEAWAY!!!!!!
I am giving away a shawl wrap that I crocheted! It is in the colors of Cocoa & Wheat! It is super soft and warm. I love to wrap myself up in my shawl while I watch my favorite TV shows....or while I'm blogging! To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this post!!! I will take comments until November 10th. I will announce the winner on the 11th. John was a good enough sport to model the shawl for you all. Doesn't he look cute in those shades...he is a little tipsy from the beer he drank at the Election party.
Good Luck!!!

Fun Family dinner night! Thanks for sharing...I love the video clips!
How exciting that your daughters voted for the first time this election!
That shawl is beautiful! Does every comment get me an entry??? One entry per person? What a great idea for a giveaway! Happy 100th post!!
Wait! How did you get the "thanks for flying by my blog..." to show up in the comment box? I want to change mine too--can't figure it out! Did I mention that I love the clouds background?
Wow this is pretty shawl. Are the girls in the pictures twins?
Aw, the shawl looks so pretty! I love those colors. Your family is fun :) I liked the videos! Reminds me of my family. Cute, crazy, lots of laughs. I'm so excited about the giveaway!
You, your husband, and your girls always seem to have such fun whenever you're together. Isn't laughter and love what it's all about? As I've said before, I can only hope and pray that when my girls are older and on their own, we'll continue to be as close as we are now.
Please enter me in your giveaway! I would love to win that gorgeous shawl! I'm so cold-natured!! :)
I loved hearing your voices and laughing! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
Your hubby is such a good sport for modeling the shawl! I love it. It is gorgeous! Please enter me in your drawing. Not that I could use it right away, but we get winter too... :)

Betty -- those pics are wonderful and I love the videos!! My son voted for the first time this election too. He had a little boo boo at the end and put his sample ballot with his notes on it in the ballot box along with his real ballot. Poor thing!

This is my first time visiting your blog and I just want to say your page is beautiful! Your daughters look so much like you and you certainly don't look old enough to have daughters in college! BTW I found your blog through Meghan's site, "I kicked Cancer's Ass".
Oh my gosh, I love that shawl! My hubby won't let me give away my address if I win anything, though, so unfortunately I can't enter the contest. Bummer!!

This is too funny! Ya'll have such a great time together! I love seeing happy families!! Ok, so - I want that shawl!!! Gimme, gimme! Please :)
Congrats on your 100th post! Quite a milestone. Love the shawl and the model... y'all are just the cutest family anyways. Love that you had so much fun with the girls.
I have heard that Due Amiche has gone downhill *shrug* at least the day I went with Kyra since it is near her house- not the best food I've ever eaten... of course growing up in the NY/NJ area trying to find good Italian around here is not the easiest feat to begin with.
Glad you had such a wonderful time though. We do goofball things like that in public all the time too. Hooray for family night.
I love your family fun nights... especially the Mexican place you go to...it looks so yummy!
I would love the shawl....
oh and congrats on the 100 post
Awww...you guys were all cute snuggling the whole time. Then it was so cute when your husband called your daughter a bastard. Good times.
Happy 100th birthday!...oops...Posting!
I think my word verification is arse?
Congratulations on your 100th post!! What a great accomplishment! And, I want that shawl:-) Hee, hee, hee.

Happy 100th! The shawl is gorgeous!
I almost missed a giveaway :(
Woo hoo, lovely!
I love the pictures of your family, love your video too. How do your girls and you keep your curls tame? My best friend refuses to wear her hair down says her curls are too frizzy. I would love to heave her hair and think it looks great down, but she says it gets too nuts.
I'm working alot of hours so haven't had time to read or blog :( I've got my days and nights mixed up and though I would check a few blogs out, before i try and catch some more sleep.
Happy 100! I think I am almost there but I am going to wait til 121 post to do a giveaway ;)
Here is one more entry for me.
Have a good weekend, I will.
I only have 3 so here is #5

Good morning, you were ahead of me in roll call this morning and to my good fortune I have stumbled upon a giveaway. Beautiful shawl, it matches my new couch, how wonderfully warm that would be on a cold Midwest night.
