Happy Easter 2009

















Despite the weather, the constant pouring rain, we had a wonderful Easter sunday. Lindsay and Madi came over this morning around 11:00. Jacob had to work today, which is sad, but great pay! Madi had a great time opening her Easter basket and playing with all her stuff, then she had some lunch and took a nap. Nathan drove up from Monroe and helped Hailey hide Easter eggs out front for all the littles to "find". The rest of the Murphy clan show up around 1:30, we opened more Easter goodies and ate quite a bit of candy....Ashley, I caved-I had candy today :(...We then ate ham, chicken, sweet potatoes, tortellini with pesto, green salad and rolls. I decided not to get a dessert as we had a ridiculous amount of candy! The Easter bunny is apparently a little sadistic as it KNOWS it is going to have to wear a bathing suit in less than a month! Anyway, the kids all had a blast, especially Madi, she adores Patience and Jordyn! She pretty much followed them around and wanted to do whatever they did. In fact she had such a good time she wants to have daycare at Auntie Cathi's house! We finally figured the rain wasn't really going to stop so we donned mud boots and rain coats and toughed it out. As you can see the eggs weren't much of a challenge to find, but the kids had a great time collecting, even Madi got the concept of find the egg, put it in your basket. We had a great time, we were just missing some of our people! Happy Easter.

Well, Happy Easter to all! It looks like you all had a great time, in spite of the miserable rain!
The kids were all adorable, and had a great time with Easter goodies and eggs! Great job, Easter bunnies! And dinner sounded wonderful, too! We missed all of you and would have LOVED to have been there.
However, we are both feeling better, finally!
Love you all!
