Dirt Road Adventures – Let’s Get This Party Started

Tis the season for Christmas parties, and this past week was all about getting ready for our annual Christmas Party.

This is just the beginning of all the holiday celebrations and this week on the blog I’ll be sharing some more ideas for holiday entertaining.

Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of our party, looking back at all that happened on the blog and some inspiration I found on the web. You don’t want to miss a minute.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

Brad decided to add an old Christmas tree to the pier to greet our guests as they arrived for the Christmas Party. We loved seeing the Christmas lights reflected in the water.

We both worked hard to get the property and the farmhouse party-ready.

The Annual Christmas Party

We enjoyed good food and good times with friends at our annual Christmas party on Friday night.

I thought I’d share a few of the smiling faces with you. It was so good to celebrate the season with family and friends.

As always, I wish I’d taken more photos and captured every moment of the fun.
