We kicked off our Holiday Parties with a Progressive Dinner with all of our neighbors. We did this last year and now it has become a tradition. This year our group grew from 10 to 20 people. It all started because we wanted to see each others houses all decorated up for Christmas, so we made a party out of it.
We have been so blessed to have GREAT neighbors. Most of which are in Vegas this weekend... :( Boo on them!
Here were our stops during our Progressive Dinner:
STOP 1: Champagne and Shrimp Cocktail at Jason and Samantha's
STOP 2: Tamales and Margaritas at Ivan and Nancys
STOP 3: Crunchy Shrimp and Wine at Jun and Jodis
STOP 4: Green Chile Soup and wine at Johns - hosted by Stephanie and Jeremy
STOP 5: Soup and Tequila at Christina and Yogi's (I passed on the tequila)
STOP 6: Dessert and wine and Chad and Julie's
STOP 7: Dessert and wine at Kimberly and Ryans
STOP 8: Back to Jason and Samantha's for the White Elephant Exchange
Here are a bunch of pics from the evening, definately NOT in order.
We ended the night with sparklers that Jun and Jodi never got to use at their wedding reception.Stephanie Broke hers
I don't remember who suggested this, but they decided to Double Dutch the Sparklers
