Christmas Pizzas

So Christmas Pizzas have come and gone once again, but I am sure that we will all remember how much fun they were to make. This year I made the sauce from scratch, and some basil pesto from scratch. I don't know if they were really any better, but Christmas Pizzas has never really been about just eating pizza. This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions and I had a great time.

• Mark & Caroline & family made Santa Claus
• Corey & Jen & Family made the manger scene (the people are made from onion and fennel and so they are hard to see in the photo, but they are all there - wise men, angels, and all)
• Ryan's pizza is a depiction of a Starry Night over Pastoral fields on a thin crust (it requires some creativity to see it, Mark added some personality to the photo).
• Mom & Dad made a Christmas wreath (note the quality and craftsmanship of the red pepper "berries")
• Scott & Jen made a reindeer in a grassy field.
  

Cerro Ancón

Today I went to Cerro Ancón and took some nice shots of the city. Too bad it was a little cloudy and you can't see everything too clearly, but you can get the idea. They are doing so much construction here it is amazing. They are making another Canal for modern size ships, and they are doing the refill project in the pacific ocean. Not to mention all the tall buildings that they are building. It really is amazing. There is a sunset shot and the canal too. There are also some pictures of some of the plants on Cerro Ancón.

Welcome to 2008

Well resolution is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days, but I think that they are still pretty important. I mean when you think about it, we just survived a very dramatic holiday season and this is our chance to do something about it. What are your new year's resolutions? Are they about loosing weight, or are they about saving money. Just remember the best way to actually do your resolution is to tell people and that way you are accountable. So share your resolutions with us.
