A night of Pizza and Root Beer

Pizza ready to go

October ninth is national pizza and beer night. Had it been a day in my late twenties, my husband and I would have had a great ordered pizza and some grocery bought beer. Being a mom, I decided to play this up a little bit and make it a night of pizza and root beer floats. I gathered a dough mix that is easy to make, a pizza sauce, and all the toppings my family loves.

Making The Pizza

We started out the night mixing up the dough and prepping it for the oven.

Everyone had the privileges of making their very own pizza with their choice of toppings.

Once ready, all the pizzas went into the oven. About twenty minutes later, all were enjoyed.

The Root Beer Floats

All eight of us enjoyed our very own pizzas. Following the amazing meal, we each made our own root beer floats and celebrated together.

Conclusion to a night of pizza and root beer floats

Having all eight of us in the same place at one time seems to be a rare occurrence. So, when it happens, I take full advantage of it. I create games, make special dinners, and sometimes put it all together in one night. This particular night was a tasty and sweet treat for the whole family.
