NYE Progressive Dinner

We had our 7th annual progressive dinner on New Year's Eve! It's hard to believe that 7 years ago Nick and I joined three other couples (they were the only friends we had at the time!) for our first progressive dinner in our little apartments. Each year I am reminded of the faithfulness of God to bring so many wonderful friends in our lives. This year we had around 35 sweet friends join the dinner. Here are the few pictures I took from the evening. Below I posted how we organize it to make it a fun evening and as easy as possible for everyone.

main course host- provide non-alcoholic drink options, paper products, help with cost of meat
