Welcome to the Progressively Perfect Virtual Dinner Party blog hop!

Have you ever heard of a progressive dinner party?  Usually they are held between neighbors or friends that live relatively near to one another.  Each household hosts a course of a meal for everyone involved.  Once that course is devoured, everyone scurries over to the next house for the next course.  

Progressive dinner parties always sound SO cool! They can be loads of fun for everyone involved.  Everyone gets to add their own personal touch to a bit of the party making each one quite unique.  

But planning a progressive dinner party can be difficult.  It's hard work trying to fit several people's schedules together these days.  So my blogging buddies and I decided to try something new- a VIRTUAL progressive dinner party!

Each blogger in our Progressively Perfect Virtual Dinner Party blog hop has been assigned a course for you to enjoy.  Once you've completed the course, you can hop on over to the next blog to enjoy the next course and so on and so on... 

Here is a complete list of each blog and each course.  You can follow through each blog post by clicking the links in order.  Each of us has chosen a dish that interprets our chosen theme of 'Hot and Cold'. We even have decoration tips, outfits for your kiddies to wear and a DJ to keep the party jumping!
