Our third annual progressive dinner

Over Thanksgiving Break we had our 3rd annual progressive dinner with our besties.  It has become one of our favorite traditions.  Good friends, good food and good wine. Can't ask for more than that :)


Last year Charlotte was only 3 months old so she missed out on all the kid madness....not this year. She was right in the mix of it!

and we had Sidney as a second babysitter... :)


First house, appetizers
Karen, Carrie and Kristin




She was so happy to be with all the kids and outside....her favorite things.


Drew and his best buddy Jake.


Charlie quickly realized that the kids were taking off down the street so she thought she could too.  We then spent hours chasing her..


It wouldn't be a get together without a pickup game of football.
Drew and Ty





The crew of kids....
Charlotte, Olivia, Drew, Sidney, Jake, Bobby, Luke, Kaiden, Devyn, Ty, Ethan, Nolan, Emery, Peyton, Alyson, Hailey





And all the families...

Ty


Luke and Drew getting ready to sing Party Rock Anthem.  This shocked me...I couldn't believe they would get up in a room full of adults and sing. But they did.  It was adorable.




Karen


A group number




This was the Peterson's first dinner.....hopefully not their last!! :)









Charlotte and I didn't make it to the last house.  She was partied out.  The boys finished off the night at the Darstaad's with dessert, movies and more games.  They rolled in about 11 pm.  It was once again, one of our favorite days of the year.  Can't wait to do it again!!!!
