As I alluded to in my previous blog, my mom braved the weather to come visit last weekend. Normally, the trip takes about 6 1/2 hours... as she painfully found out, in a blizzard of snow and ice it takes 12! For the couple of hours we had left of Friday, we took her out to dinner with our friends Andy and Tara and had a few laughs.Saturday, Ari was feeling under the weather so after a quick breakfast with him we dropped him off at home to recuperate. In our usual style, mom and I then went shopping!! We bought some Christmas decorations and presents. That night, mom totally spoiled us by making dinner... when will she just move in?! Then mom and I played games while poor Ari dozed on the sofa.
Sunday morning Kristen came in by train. She was looking a little rough around the edges but perked up after a bloody mary at brunch. I then took them on a mini tour of Milwaukee and showed them all the beautiful houses by the lake. They were decorated for Christmas and snow covered... Gorgeous! We did more shopping... I am sure you are shocked!... and then came home to get cleaned up for dinner. I took them to Carini's (most out of town guests end up there so come visit!!) and we had such a wonderful girly dinner. The wine was fabulous, the dinner specials succulent, and the chocolate cannolis are still the best I have ever eaten. We then headed to the Martina McBride Christmas concert. It was really entertaining, she has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. Mom and Kristen spent the night and left early as I went to work Monday morning. Luckily, mom's drive was a bit smoother!
