Last Saturday, I needed to get out of the house. We headed out to do a little Christmas shopping and to get some groceries. I have lots of coupons in my wallet for freebies, so we stopped at smart cookie for some free cookies, unfortunately they don't have any gluten-free cookies, so I was a bad girl and had part of a really yummy sugar cookie. At this point I figured that as long as I'm cheating and I'm going to pay the price, I want something good. So after a quick stop home and diaper change and pit stop, we packed up and headed to the brick oven in Provo. I however wasn't very smart. We got there in time to see herds of BYU fans filing down the sidewalk and into the restaurant. Fortunately they were able to get us right in. I just have to say that my salad bar and pizza dinner were heavenly. I haven't had good pizza in forever. You just can't get a good gluten-free pizza. We guzzled root beer and I stuffed myself with glutenous goodness. As we were finishing up, Ben asked the waiter about all the balloons that other kids had and asked for balloons for the girls. We were thinking of the ones filled with helium tied to a string, well our waiter sent over the "balloon guy". Wow! This guy was amazing. He made Sydnee a Snow White balloon and Addy a frog. I've never seen anything like this before. The kids were impressed just as much as Ben and I were. They very carefully carried their creations out to the car and we made our way home. What a great family night together. Another fortunate blessing is that I haven't paid too dearly for my evil feast, yet.
