Christmas Eve Celebrations

This Christmas Eve we spent at Roark's house. As is the longtime Brown family Italian tradition, we made homemade pizzas. As we had a bunch of people, we made seven of them, though we only ended up eating just over four. Here they are!

BBQ chicken made by Elaine and Derek
Canadian bacon and pineapple
Tomato, sundried tomato, feta, and spinach - Rebecca's choice - and it was delicious!
Meat lovers - Roark made this one
Pepperoni, sausage, and olive made by Sarah
Veggie pizza by Laura
The leftover pizza by Sarah

Daron tossing the pizza like a pro.

Cute kids hanging out together.
Nathan played a sheep. He declined any costume, but he baa-ed as well as a sheep!
Esther being an angel. She wanted to be Mary until she saw the flowy angel costume. It helped that the role included standing on the table being the center of attention!
Sarah was Mary, Laura was Joseph, and Derek got to be the donkey.

After dinner, the Nativity pageant, and hot chocolate, we bundled the kids into the car and came home. Now that they are in bed, we're watching our annual Christmas Eve movie, The Nativity Story, which I highly recommend. But we'd better get to bed soon as Santa will be on his way!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
