Just simple Easter plans this year, me, my husband, and our son.

My sweet little family.

So thankful that the sun finally came out after a rainy week, shining on my beautiful front door wreath.

I love adding fun touches to my home for all holidays.

Not a bunch of money is always available to buy decorations, so a cute inexpensive something I do, is to make banners.

Maybe it is because of a childhood passion of cutting paperdolls, that makes me want to work and create with paper.

Just like quilters, and folks who sew collect fabric pieces, I find it hard to pass up a lovely piece of paper or cardstock.

I printed out some Beatrix Potter bunnies for the entryway mirror, and just different spring colors and patterns for the dining hutch.

Whimsy touches that I love!

Every year, I also print out and frame, a reminder of the real reason of this holy time of the year.

Easter dinner will just be in the kitchen, a simple table setting, highlighted by cute bunny plates I found at Hobby Lobby, 40% off, less than $2 each.

This year’s menu will be ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and a favorite salad my family loves.

Apple pie and ice cream for dessert, with coffee.

Even though I have no grandchildren, and my son is grown, I still love to color eggs at Easter.

This year I tried using cool whip and food coloring to color the eggs, so easy!

The colors and patterns are beautiful.

Hope you all are ready for tomorrow, whether a small or large gathering.

Just being with those you love is such a gift.

So thankful to have my little family with me.

Prayers for those with no one in their lives to share special times, those alone, with no home, or folks to love.

Blessings and love.
