Family Pizza Night

On the Sunday night of the week Kate was born, thirteen of us gathered at Nola and Nopsi’s house for a Family Pizza Night. This has become somewhat of a tradition about once a month, although the group isn’t usually as big. Since there were so many of us, Nola and Nopsi decided to let everyone choose from a multitude of toppings and construct their own pizza.

Pretty impressive, huh? Nola and Nopsi don’t mess around. They’ve been doing this homemade pizza thing for years now, and they create some really tasty pies. The one I made was not nearly as good as theirs always are.

Before we went over to join the rest of the fam, I needed to take Riley’s 23-month picture to include with his birthday post the next morning. He had basically just woken up from his nap and was very reluctant to let go of giraffe and blanket. He LOVES giraffe and blanket more than ever these days. He’ll gather both up in a ball and bury his face in them. So cute. I guess I have my answer as to what he became attached to!

Riley had his dinner before everyone else even started making theirs: a selection of pizza toppings, which he thought was great. And Skeets (Aunt E’s dad) was lucky enough to see “the face” and capture a pretty good shot of it on his shiny new camera.

FPN was just what Uncle Jeff and Aunt E needed before they checked into the hospital the next evening. It was such a fun, relaxing night surrounded by lots of family and delicious homemade pizza. And how exciting to think that Baby Kate will soon be attending her first FPN!

I wonder if she’ll grow to like Nopsi’s culinary creations as much as the rest of us do. With the way she’s been eating lately, though, something tells me she’ll fit into this family perfectly.
