Steven's Birthday

Saturday was my brother, Steve's, birthday.  We had decided that we would have a birthday pizza party for him at my house since he has gone through divorce this past year and that wasn't his ex-wife's responsibility any more.  Shelly and I had tried to go to a movie earlier in the day, but it wasn't playing at a convenient time at the theater we wanted to go to so we just went shopping for all the pizza party stuff and a few other things and came home to make the pizza stuff and some appetizers.  Shelly and Jenna made our favorite sweet potato feta rounds and my mom was bringing pita chips, hummus and a couple other things.
Jenna and Shelly cooking...these are so yummy!
The finished product!
Steven came over along with his kids, his new girlfriend, Jeanette, and her two kids.

We made lots of pizza and had a great time.

Tim making pizza...is that all this man ever does?  No, it's just that I don't get pictures of him fighting fires very often...or building houses.

It was a really fun evening and even Stella and Duncan (the dogs) had a good time.
