9th Annual Progressive Dinner

Sunday night was our 9th Annual Progressive Dinner! We were all shocked when we realized that this has been a tradition for 9 years now.

Our house was first so we had the appetizer course. I made lemon poppy seed muffins and Brad made cheesy sausage bread...everyone loved the bread!!

 We drew Josh, Shannon, Stephanie, and Blake's name so before we moved on to the next house, they got to open their gifts.

 Our girls sure do love their Papa and Gram!

 Stephanie hosted the salad course. We had her yummy fruit salad, cheese, meat, and crackers.

 The Estes family drew Brad, Barrett, Kaleb, and Aiden's name...poor Kcup had fallen asleep on the way to their house so he was not in a picture taking mood!!

 Mmmmm, main course! Shannon and Josh made homemade cinnamon rolls and egg casserole. Elleigh was a fan of the casserole! When she finished eating her helping, she moved on to mine!!

 It was Robert, Susan, and Brynn's turn to open their gifts.

 Last but not least, the desert round was at the McIntire house. 

 The last 6 of us got to open our presents. Zoey did so good waiting until the very end to get hers. Elleigh was also really excited to get her present too!

 The cousin picture! My my....how they've grown in just a year!!

 Earlier at Shannon's house, we busted out the tripod to get a family picture. We haven't done this since Thanksgiving of 2012. Considering the amount of people and children, it turned out great!

Family gatherings are always loud and chaotic but I wouldn't trade the memories made on nights like this for anything!

Only 4 more sleeps!
