Easter recap

We had a really nice Easter, the weather here in So Cal was gorgeous! Audrey did pretty well. She got a little fussy at church, but church was so crowded that we ended up sitting outside so the fussiness wasn't too much of a problem. It was probably a good thing that we were outside because Charlie noticed when Audrey spit up and yelled to Robert (who was behind us a few feet), "Dad! Spit up!" Yep, it's a good thing we were outside. Here is Robert with his little chunk.

We spent the afternoon over at my mom and dad's house with the usual crowd. My aunt and uncle were there, so was my cousin and her family. She has a son that is a couple of months younger then Harrison. Tyler brought his DS? (I don't know what it was) and he showed Harrison how to play it. My niece and her friend Paige hid Easter eggs for the boys.

My dad bbq'd ham and everyone brought a dish to serve. It was a very nice day. Here is the fruit pizza I was telling you about. It is so easy, and easily adaptable.

Fruit Pizza:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup {2 sticks} butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, divided
1 pkg. {8 oz.} cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 container {8 oz.} frozen whipped topping {Cool Whip}, thawed
1 pint fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 can {11 oz.} mandarin oranges pieces, drained and patted dry

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, butter, and 1/2 cup of the confectioner's sugar and, using your fingertips or the heel of your hand, spread the dough over the bottom of a 12-inch rimmed pizza pan that has been coated with non-stick baking spray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden; let cool. In a large bowl, with an electric beater, beat the cream cheese, the remaining 1 cup of confectioner's sugar and the vanilla; mix well. Fold in the whipped topping. Spread over the cooled crust, then arrange the strawberries, kiwis and oranges in a decorative pattern. Cover and chill 2 hours before serving.

* You can also use bananas, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, or almost any fruit that is in season. It will keep for several days in the refrigerator. {trust me, it won't last that long}.
