Easter at the Murphys

This year was the first year Corbin has really gotten in to Easter. It was a lot of fun.

I worked Saturday night and got home at around 630 Sunday morning. I managed to get off work a little early due to a bit of a rough night. Got home, made a cheesecake, and went to bed until 10AM. Then we went to church. We tried to bring Corbin in with us for the worship (something we're working on) but he wanted to "go play", so we gave up on that idea.

Yesterday afternoon, we had Easter dinner and an Egg Hunt with the family. James cousins are 4 (twins) and 5. There were some other family friends there as well with 2 young kids. Corbin had a blast. He really enjoyed the egg hunt. Of course he had to have a little help from mama. Unfortunately, his mama is a little competitive and pushed him into a bush to fight for the "golden" egg with his cousin, Cody. Cody ended up with the contents of the egg (a dollar!) and Corbin ended up with the egg, which is all he really cared about anyway. I ended up with the reputation as the mother who will not be allowed at her child's sporting events lol.

All in all it was a really fun time. Corbin ate too much candy and is still bouncing off the walls today. It was so fun to watch him get into the activities and to teach him about the real meaning of the holiday - Jesus' resurrection.

Praise the Lord for His death on the cross for our sins and His rising from the grave. Without it we have no hope.
