Ari's Mom Comes To Visit

Last Friday night, Ari's mom flew in to visit from Oregon. Her trip was unfortunately a little eventful with one of her planes being late causing her to almost miss a connecting flight. For those of you who fly Northwest Airlines, beware that there are no snacks! His poor mom flew all day and didn't even get a pretzel. When she arrived, I took her to one of our favorite local restaurants to get a bite to eat and Ari came to join us after work.

Saturday, I took Ari and his mom to an Indian restaurant I discovered a couple of months ago. Lunch was delicious! We then walked it off at the Milwaukee art museum, which had more art than I suspected. There was also this creepy display with a talking baby doll... wierd. Tom, Sarah Beth, and Conner came over for dinner and I made home-made pizzas which were accompanied by Tom's famous salad. Dinner was great but the company was better. Tom and Sarah also brought us a Christmas gift - a card shuffler. Get ready poker fans, we are now planning the next party!!

Sunday we slept in and then did a little holiday shopping. We then got ready for a night out. Dennis and Davette, a classmate of Ari's and his wife, came over and we headed off to see the Nutcracker. I was the only one who had seen a ballet before. Everyone enjoyed the show. We then went for Tapas at a restaurant down the street called Swig (that's where the picture was taken). It was delicious for the carnivores and the vegetarians.

Monday was back to work for me. Marshan and Ari actually came to visit me while I was on call in the NICU since things were quiet. Then Marshan flew back home EARLY Tuesday. We are so glad that she got to visit!
