It is time for the kids to be out of school for Summer, which calls for a celebration! What screams "Summer" more than ice cream?! Here is how I created an ice cream party to celebrate the end of the AWANA year and the beginning of summer vacation.

Tips for Hosting a Progressive Dinner - Appetizers

For the last several years, the youth group at our church has participated in a Progressive Dinner. If you have never heard of this concept, it is where different families host portions of the meal: Appetizers, Main Course, and Dessert. This is a fun way for the youth to interact with different families within the church. My family hosted the appetizer portion last year and agreed to host again this year. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have caught some of the fun in my InstaStory!
