Christmas Tree Pizza - Countdown to Christmas - 7 Days to Go!

Fridays is movie night around here, which means that we also make up a nice homemade pizza and pair it with a salad. In the spirit of Christmas and to kick off our 7 days of decorating the tree we made our pizza tree shaped! They boys did a fabulous job 'decorating' the tree with tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, star shaped green peppers and pepperoni! Baked on a well loved wheat crust - yum!
