Deterding Ranch Neighborhood Christmas Party

Over the last eleven years, there has a been some version of a Deterding Ranch Neighborhood Christmas Party [2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022]. This morphed into a progressive dinner in 2015. When it became clear that the progressive dinner wasn't going to happen last year, Sharon and I decided to host a cocktail party. We are back to the progressive dinner this year.

We started off with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at Jan and John house. The group moved to our house for dinner. Sharon made lasngna. Mike and Jill added salad and bread.
After dinner, the group moved to Jim and Debi's house for dessert, pool and an ornament exchange.
The group totalled 17, including: Tom and Judy; Glen; Mike, Jill and their son Mike; John and Jan; Heidi, Brad and Clark; Greg and Michele; Jim and Debi, and; Sharon and I.

The house looked great; Sharon did a fantastic job decorating the house for the holidays. Although I was fading hard by the end, it was a very nice evening!
