Fruit Pizza

I am not a cake person, unless it's cheese cake, homemade carrot cake, ice cream cake, coffee cake... and when 'birthday season' come around the last thing I want is four (soon to be five) cakes.
This year, since it was my birthday, I skipped the word cake altogether. AND LOVED IT!

{and yes we did spend the day in pjs... it was awesome}
