Young Marrieds Progressive Dinner!

A few months ago, Landon got the idea to plan an event for the people in our Bible class at church.  We talked to some people, took a few polls and decided upon a progressive dinner.  Neither of us had ever done one before, but figured it couldn't be too hard to plan! :)  And, this last weekend all of Landon's (and the hosts) hard work paid off--the dinner went off without a hitch and was a blast!  About 45 of us showed up and enjoyed a fun evening eating delicious food, seeing friend's houses and just hanging out and having a good time.  And, our sweet baby was SO good, which was a welcome surprise--it can go either way any time we take him out!-- and made the evening so much more enjoyable for all three of us!
We started our night at Brian and Janine Kaul's house with some yummy appetizers--some fruit and crackers and a couple of different kinds of dips!

At each house a couple of us stayed behind a few minutes to clean up and wash the dishes to that the hosts didn't come home late that night to a dirty house!
Then, from there we jumped in our cars and drove down the road to Brice and Tommy Waldron's, where we ate some salad and garlic bread and talked with some more people--some new and some we hadn't talked with in a while.

Aedan took a little power nap while we ate our salad and bread.





Next, we went to James and Tiffany Wright's house for the main course, a little Texans football watching and hanging out with some more people we hadn't had a chance to talk with yet.


Then, we ended the night at David and Cynthia Liakos' house for some DELICIOUS trifles for dessert!  I think we all sampled them all and had fun just hanging out and relaxing.  The trifles were the perfect dessert to end a night of eating because they were still kinda light--we had banana pudding, tiramisu, brownie berry and berry pound cake.  Yum.


not sure who took this picture, but Brandon's face made me laugh~


Christel and I with our sweet baby boys--we were pregnant together and our babies were born about a month apart. :)

Once almost everyone was gone, some of us stuck around and helped them clean up.  I changed Aedan into his pjs and he hung out for a little while, as happy as could be.  And, on a side note--I think he has officially outgrown all of his newborn jammies, ha!




Time to go home.  It was such a fun night, but by the end, we were all tired. :)
