Last of the Easter Decorations Part 1

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Well, Easter has come and gone now.
So are those income tax done yet?  

Hope so, as the day is fast 

approaching.......

Not too much exciting going on here this week,

other than hubby did the income tax,  and we are

actually getting money back, so that is always a

very nice surprise.

I am making a cuban dinner tonight, and very

excited about it too,  as we haven't had it in
 quite some time.

It is called Picadillo, Black beans and yellow

rice........and it is um um good..........

If you are interested in the recipe,

Actually this turned out to be Ropa Veja instead

of Picadillo,  but it has the black bean and rice

recipe on there.  If you want the Picadillo

recipe.  Just let me know by leaving a

comment and I will post it. I could have

sworn I posted that before, but guess I

 didn't.... see.that is why it isn't a good

 thing to swear you did something.  lol

You might just want to try the Ropa Veja

 as it is delicious too.......

Decided I would show you the rest of my Easter

decorations before I take them down next week,

 and go to just Spring decor.

All the pics posted today are from the family,

dining room, hallway and kitchen

Absolutely love taking this lil bunny pillow

out every year, my fav pillow.......my SIL

Susan gave it to me quite a number of

 years ago and I still love it.  the lil bunny

looks so real..............

Mr and Mrs. Bunny for the side table.

Our coffee table with my beautiful Jesus Figurine

 and lovely pink hydrangeas.  Pink is one of my

fav Spring colors.

Received this Jesus Figurine from an old

neighbor/friend years ago, and have always

 loved it and the dear lady who gave it to me. 

 Unfortunately, she moved away a long time

 ago, and she is now enjoying Heaven.

with colored pencil affect.

I like to generously sprinkle around some stuffed

bunnies and lambs.  Brooklyn quite enjoys that too.

The lamb in the lefthand corner I actually took to her

Mom when she was in labor with Brooklyn.  It sings

"If your happy and you know it,  clap you hands"

and it claps his hands and wiggles his ears.

So cute,  couldn't resist it........

and lil darling loves her too.

This lil bunny belonged to my Daughter DeeAnna

when she was a lil girl.

Decided to add some wooden eggs to the topiary tree.

The 2 brown ones I got in Germany over 40 yrs. ago.

That is where I learned to make Easter trees,  that was

one of the German traditions.  You see them quite

often here now.............but didn't back 40 yrs. ago.

With Poster edges affect

Got 2 of these lil bunnies at the dollar tree
this year.  Remember the other one in
the header pic and in the first collage.
Lil darling liked them too.  lol

This chest is in the small hallway we have

between the bedrooms. These bunny dishes

and the cute bunny towels were a gift from

an old friend about 4 or 5 yrs. ago.

They are so cute.  Should have taken

a pic of them empty cause they have cute

lil faces...............

It was nice you could visit today, 

 hope you enjoyed it,

 and come again soon.

Have a lovely evening with your

 family/ friends or furry friends.
