The Saturday before Christmas, Tad and I hosted our annual youth Christmas party at our house. We had such a fun time preparing the food and hosting all the youth (we had 15 people total).
Our four-course dinner menu: cheese plates; Caesar salads with shaved parmesan and garlic croutons; steaks with carmelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, and herb butter; green beans with soy sauce and crumbled bacon; twice-stuffed baked potatoes with cheddar cheese and bacon, rosemary peasant bread with olive oil dipping sauce; my awesome 🙂 New York cheesecake; and various coffeehouse drinks
We used disposable plates for three of the four courses and real plates for the main course, which helped save on dishes. 🙂
We used a dropcloth as a tablecloth and decorated using fresh greenery, mini pinecones, white candles, and a mini Christmas tree.
We made little place cards and menu cards.
The kids LOVED the cofeehouse drinks.
We had a great time waiting on all the youth.
Tad did an awesome job cooking 15 steaks!! He only sustained a few minor grease burns.
We think all the youth had a wonderful time!
Thankful for ministry opportunities like this!
