Dinner with family

Guess what? SURPRISE! My dad showed up with my mom today! He has a conference in Spokane this week, so we didn't expect to see him at all, and we had only planned for my mom to come visit, but he surprised us by showing up at the airport today! Hooray! He has to drive to Spokane tomorrow, but we're excited that he got to see Ellie anyway!

So to celebrate, we went out to dinner. We ate at Damasco's here in Belgrade (if you haven't eaten there, it is GLORIOUS!). Leif and I split a dish, I drank a Dr. Pepper (full sugar, I know, but no aspartame at least!), and the four of us (five if you include Ellie, and she had her fair share!) split two desserts. It was wonderful! A bit of a splurge, but I didn't have much for lunch, and I didn't have any snacks today, so I think I'm just fine. It was, after all, a celebration!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I don't know what Leif has planned, but again, with a little moderation I'm not too worried. Too much to rejoice and be thankful for! =D
