Second Place - @Barredrockmama1

Hello! I'm new here but this challenge sounded so fun I just had to give it a try. I made some homemade peanut butter and chocolate eggs just yesterday with homemade peanut butter. My 10 barred rock girls have been working hard laying eggs for the kids to color on Easter. Of course I had to include my favorite candies and some flowers my daughter picked for me from the back yard. Have a blessed Easter everyone!

Nothing says Easter in South America like mushrooms.
Not an entry since there are no eggs.
