Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Comment: I got this recipe from my older sister years ago in an email. I think the flavor combination between the moist pumpkin bars and cream cheese frosting is excellent. I brought some of the bars into work and a coworker said they were the best pumpkin bars they had ever tried. 
Ingredients
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 can (16 ounce) pumpkin
3/4 cup melted butter or margarine
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Frosting
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
3 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Combine eggs, sugar, pumpkin and butter. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a greased and floured jelly roll pan or if using only half the recipe, into a 9×13 inch pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 325 degrees. Frost with the following icing ingredients: 1 pkg(8oz) cream cheese, 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon milk or half and half and 3 cups powdered sugar. Beat together and spread on cooled bars.
