Progressive Appetizers

In July we enjoyed a Progressive Dinner with our neighbors. It was a lot of fun, so we decided we would do it again during the holiday season. We planned appetizers rather than a full course dinner, and then ended with a White Elephant Gift Exchange. We had a great time. It was fun to see all of our houses decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed a couple different appetizers at each house, and we had quite the variety, indeed. At the last house we ended with dessert and coffee. There were 5 houses that participated, and it worked out just fine. We did include the children, which is always challenging, but still fun. The only downfall was that the weather had turned bitterly cold with a fierce wind. We live on a fairly steep hill and the snow had melted during the day and turned to ice. We trudged from house to house being careful not to slip on the slick surfaces. Even though we are all next door neighbors, it made for a difficult commute to each house. All in all it was a great time and again, I highly recommend this event to anyone interested.
