It started in 2009, I think.Every year we think we’re overlooking a year… so maybe we started in 2008. But I only have pix since 2009, so 2009 it is. Look how little everyone was! {L to R: Andrew, Ben, Caroline, Lauren, Em, Timothy, Georgia is in a high chair & Katie is in the pack n play}
2010was fun, of course. Pizzas again but this time, we did it at our house. The caramel dripped off the apples again, but that’s part of the fun at this point. Caroline’s photo is the best from that year.
And here we are at 2011.I tried a caramel apple pizza… not so hot. It would’ve been delish if it didn’t have tomato sauce on it! The biggest hit with the pizzas was pineapple and caramelized onion. So here I am popping pizzas in the oven while Sarah measures out the ingredients for caramel. Yum.
Ben’s a big guy now. He enjoyed dipping the apples… err, apple slices. See, I saw on Pinterest how you can do apple slices and it looked adorable {of course it looked adorable on Pinterest- should’ve been my first warning!} My idea was not well received, but I had already sliced the apples. Oops. And, as you see in the photo below, the caramel pulled right off the slices… it was still tasty, but I’d consider it a big FLOP.
Fortunately, the kiddos still enjoyed rolling them in toppings. {mini m&ms, coconut, sliced almonds, Heath crunchies, mini marshmallows…}
I dipped mine in almonds. Yum.
Note the caramel spot on Andrew’s nose. And how many marshmallows he managed to stick onto one little apple slice. Talent, I tell ya. That boy’s got talent. 
Note most of these pictures are taken from above. Way above. Chris had a lot of fun standing on barstools, counters and other tall spots. Seth was rooting him on. Then we had a dance-off with Clara and Abbie. 
Good times with great friends.

The End.
