Community Christmas Crawl III

Saturday night was our 3rd annual crawl, which is a progressive dinner with about 20 to 25 people. The first 2 years we went to 4 houses and this year we decided to cut it down to 3. There's just not enough time to move 4 times. Everyone wore their Christmas sweater and brought their festive drinking glass.

We started off at Joni and Brandie's for cocktails and appetizers at 5 pm. Here is Carol getting started.

Even though it was freezing cold outside, people still hung out in the back yard.

It was another wonderful gathering with good friends. Sorry that Ron and Yvonne were too sick to make it, hope you're both feeling better soon. We also missed Matt and Nicole and Peter and Casey. Too many parties, too little time. That's the holidays! I sure missed you, Shannon, everyone asked about you and said to tell you hi. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
