Pineapple salad

Hi everyone, I was very happy to see most of you on Sunday. I had a really good time & hope you did too. I really missed having Katie & Andrew here. Ellen had request my recipe for my pineapple salad & I thought I would share it with all of you in case anyone else was interested. Sometimes I like to add mini marshmallows but it really is perfect without them.

Pineapple Picnic Salad
20 oz. pineapple, crushed, undrained
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. vanilla pudding, instant mix
20 oz. pineapple chunks, drained
8 oz. whipped desert topping

In a large bowl, stir the undrained pineapple into the cream cheese. Stir in the vanilla pudding mix. Fold in the drained pineapple chunks and whipped topping. Cover and chill until ready to serve at the picnic.

Yesterday & last night was Jacob's first full day & night without the binkie. Bedtime was just slightly rough but he fell asleep pretty quickly & slept through the night. He has started sucking is thumb a little bit though, we'll have to see what happens.

I hope everyone has a great week!

I'm sorry we missed the celebration this past weekend. I was thinking about you guys, and I love the pictures you sent. Jacob looks like a doll--very handsome!
