Homemade Pizza

My hubby and I look to set aside one night a week, each week is different, where we have family time. We put away tablets, phones, and sometimes turn off the television. No matter what, we spend time doing something together. For tonight's family night we are going to do make your own pizza!

I tried to take step by step pictures of how we make the pizza but between flour flying and dough be eaten and some whining it became a little crazy, but I did manage to take a picture of the end result 🙂 to give you an idea of how amazing it all turns out! Our kids get really excited to shape their own dough, put as much sauce as they want, and pile on the cheese and toppings of their choice!
