Park City: Day 1

Saturday Easter Brunch

Today is Saturday, the day before Easter. We had a brunch with all of Mark's family at his parent's house. It was so much fun, and the food was AMAZING. Here are a few pics.

After the hunt, all the little boys went shopping with Grandpa. Here they are with their loot.
(they got baseball bases, balls, and some soccer goals)

Cute Wendy and Caden


Before we ate, we had a little "Easter thought" with everyone. Caden sang the opening song; here it is:

Easter Basket



So, last year was Mark and I's first Easter together. We didn't do anything, and i felt very lame about it. So this year i surprised Mark with his very own Easter basket equiped with all sorts of treats. Mark went on a scout camp out last night (Friday) so while he was gone i went to the store and bought all the accesories and parafenelia. I put it all together (and of course i had to make it as cute as possilbe, because that is what makes it so fun. and you may be thinking, yeah Callie, it's not that cute. Trust me, it is much cuter in real life) and wrote a nice gushy note. I also made some yummy reece's cookies because Mark has been wanting them for a while. Happy Easter babe! I love you!

Tragedy

So for some strange reason our apartment complex has decided to change internet providers. Before, we paid like $50 for 6 months or something like that. I know, a great deal. And on top of that the speed was pretty good too. But, now they have elected to switch to something else that costs $30 per MONTH and is supposedly much faster.

We both thought it was fast enough and are not interested in paying so much money for the internet. We told our apartment people this, but they didnt listen to us. So the end of the story is that we no longer have Internet access from our apartment. I am afraid that as a result of this my blogging is going to take a serious hit. I know, that is the tragedy part. But, i'm hoping that this is really a blessing in disguise. Now i think both Mark and I will be much more productive without the distraction of constantly checking emails and blogs. Mark is pretty bummed because this means that he will have much less time to find killer deals, but now we wont be tempted to buy things we dont really need. But, we can still access it for free at the library, school, and work so all is not lost.
