Such fun! We had four families over to our house for a Tu B'Shevat seder (the Jewish "new year of the trees"). I read a bunch of stuff online and finally picked a seder guide from Hillel, which I thought covered the topic quickly but richly. I bought a bunch of great food for each of the three categories - fruit with a hard outer shell (oranges, nuts), fruit with a large pit (dates, olives) and fruit that you eat the whole thing (figs, grapes). Matt and Larry helped a lot with setting up the table and arranging the food. I made cranberry chicken and a nice salad for dinner and the guests brought side dishes (roasted potatoes and rice and beans).
I made a small GF chocolate cake and we sang Happy Birthday to Larry, since his BD was on Thursday (but he was working). The kids played very well together before and after dinner.
After dinner, Larry introduced the other husbands to
Guitar Hero, which was a huge hit, no surprise.
We're already planning to get the group together for other events, it was such a success.
