…was tons of fun! I took it easy all day – went for a run outside this morning and put the final touches on my white chocolate peppermint cheesecake this afternoon.
Then around 3, Matt’s parents arrived and the real party started!
We drank beer and chatted for a few hours and Matt and I prepped two pizzas for a late-night dinner.
Bacon, mushroom, red pepper on whole wheat and pesto, goat, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil on white.
We got all dressed up for church and walked down to the Christmas eve service.
There was lots of singing!
We put out our flames and headed home to a cozy fire.
But that wasn’t the only fire – some toppings from my pizza fell off into the oven and started a small fire! Luckily, it went out on it’s own, but it filled part of the house with smoke and made for a delicious wood-fired pizza.
Then, we feasted.
And I must say, I was very happy with how delicious my cheesecake turned out! Can’t wait to eat more tomorrow.
The eve was perfect, although we did miss my sister and kanz!
I’m uncomfortably full and can’t wait for bed. Tomorrow, we do it all over again – hooray for more food and family. Merry Christmas;)

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
Is it appropriate to take photos during a church service?
merry christmas.
Looks delicious – I love the addition of pizza!
And it seems our family is just destined to have fires every Christmas..
Let’s hope they are just tiny ones….
Looks like a good time! Glad the cheesecake turned out, Merry Christmas!
okay we need to recipe for that amazing looking cheesecake! This year I made a butter pecan cheesecake that was so good! I’d love to try and make the one you did!
If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get your beautiful christmas eve dress? It looks great on you!
Thanks! It’s an Old Navy dress that I got back in August and I added the belt!
