Maybe I didn't realize our Christmas tree was lacking a stump until after we stuck it in the oven

...and maybe Haley was more interested in playing with and eating the dough than decorating it with pepperonis and peppers

...and maybe there should be a law against wearing an apple shirt while wearing a cherry apron

...and maybe you're staring at your screen thinking, "that is supposed to resemble a christmas tree?!"

but all maybes aside, christmas tree pizza is absolutely delicious even when thrown together by a less than determined 2 year old and everyone ought to give it a try!

Oh, maybe next year Haley will be more enthralled by the whole pizza making and decorating process, but if not, I can already tell that Cameron is shaping out to be quite the pizza enthusiast...

I can't wait to see their little pizza skills improve from year to year as their pizza eating skills seem to be inherent.

Oh goodness, these pictures are so precious that I kind of almost cried. And pizza is a fantastic Christmas tradition. We always order pizza the day we put up the tree :)

Is that the chalkboard wall I see underneath the stairs?? That is a genius place to put it. We don't have a defined place like that under our stairs, but I may have to copy that...

Also, Hailey seems like such a big kid now :( I feel like the past year and a half has flown by.
