Christmas Eve in the Roth family has always meant homemade pizza and opening presents, and this year was no different -- except for the newest generation of Roth boys partaking in the tradition.
This year's Roth Christmas was held at Tony & Kamie's house in Beaverton. Tony bought individual Boboli pizza crusts and all kinds of gourmet toppings to go with them. Everyone (including the little boys) made their own custom pizza with their favorite goodies.
I built a marvelous pizza topped with pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, onions, jalapenos, pepperoncinis, roasted red peppers, and roasted garlic -- it was quite delicious.
We brought along tortilla chips & dip (Jenn Gingerich's sweet pepper relish mixed with cream cheese) and a relish tray for appetizers; JD & Kris brought a wonderful salad; and Mom brought a chocolate cake for dessert.
After dinner, we made our way to the living room to open presents. Well actually, the women did the dishes (usually us boys do them) while I helped Tony figure out why he was only getting two of the three colors on his super-duper HD flat-screen TV. Eventually we got around to opening presents -- something that didn't take very long for some of the little rug-rats.
Besides being born with Olive-Fingers, Roth boys are also born with an uncontrollable desire to make faces in front of a camera. These youngest Roth boys are no different than their Grandpa Steve was.
