We all enjoyed making our own pizzas, daddy and mommy too!
We made some pizza dough in the bread maker machine, as making it by hand and kneading it takes ages, especially since we need two batches to feed our family adequately!
My mom then cut out a Christmas tree template while the dough was rising. Then she rolled out the dough and cut out the trees.
Then my mom put the trees in pans, plates......and whatever else that was oven-proof!
Then came the tomato paste.
Then I helped chop, slice and dice the pizza toppings and put them in bowls on the table.
Then came the best part - well, one of the best parts, other than eating them! Decorating them!
Why wait till they are cooked? Gabrielle, eating the cheese!
Beth, enjoying putting meat onto her pizza!

We LOVED our pizzas! Our movie too! We are all very happy with this new tradition!
It was lovely to be together, laugh and have fun! I feel sorry for families who don't want to be together, who rather delight in friends and parties.
Being together as a family is sometimes chaotic, but the joy of sitting together, snuggled up on the couch watching a movie is great, it is special. We must value each moment spent together.
What Christmas Eve traditions do you have? What do you do? Why not tell me about yours?
Blessings,
Kelly-Anne
