Yep, my MIL and I get along well.
Unfortunately, MIL and FIL divorced about a year before DWifey and I were married. He estranged himself from the family. We saw him again only once after that before he passed about 16 or so years ago. Sad stuff.
Our kiddos are very happy to still have her and my folks in their lives though, as so many their age don't even have that.
We're all very thankful...!!!
That hot chocolate looks so very yum!We ordered Giordano's for our Thanksgiving for those who don't eat turkey. It wasn't the same as eating in the restaurant, but it was still good.
^^^^^This!! If she would never think of making the trip herself, then she can't expect you to...especially with Brad recovering from a broken ankle. The world does not revolve around her.
I disagree...it only shows they care about themselves and how it will affect them. If they cared about anyone else, they would be excited that their family was getting to do something fun and have a magical holiday.
It doesn't sound TOO bad. I guess you can read a little.Whelp, saw Lion King at the Hippodrome today. It's pretty much the closest you'll get to seeing the Boradway/Vegas version without being in New York/Vegas (it was a Broadway Across America Production). It was fantastic. Cast was great, music was amazing...loved it. And Zazu had a new choice for something with a little "bounce" instead of It's a Small World...Let It Go.
I went with the same friend who went to DL with me. We went to a local pub for dinner. I guess they normally show sports, but they were showing Princess Bride tonight. After all, that has sports. Fencing, fighting, revenge, torture, giants monsters, escapes, true love, miracles...
It's so nice when someone takes you in like that as if you are part of their family. I think some people have that gift of being able to make anyone feel welcome. My brother's in-laws are like that, too...when I was back for my brother's wedding, and when I was back for my dad's funeral, they treated me like I was one of them...like I came with the package. They invited me for Easter, we went to the Easter Egg hunt in their town and no one questioned my being there even though it was a TINY town (like 200 people) and the whole town shows up for the events. I could have been considered an outsider, but I was with Davie and Sue, so I was embraced like I lived there. It was pretty awesome.
Tell me about it!
I'm almost sure about that. Some of the newer ones are sealed and must be serviced every so oftenMy sewing machine is a Brother, too. (I haven't used it for well over 15 years, though. It might need some oil.
Sometimes I wish ours weren't so willing to travel to our placeThis is why I avoid family get-togethers at the holidays. I've heard enough.
You go and enjoy your Christmas in Disney World and forget about them.
We're getting out of Christmas day because a relative is having a minor procedure right before the holiday
I did say it was minor
One year I came into several cases of mason jar. Mason jar gift year
Next year some of the people I know who sew are getting mason jar sewing kits with a pin cushion on top.
I know it's such a tough choice. Tonight The Santa Clause. I can thank that movie for our collection of snow globesNaw! Scrooged makes me laugh so hard, more than the Muppets. And that is hard for me to say 'cause I love the Muppets.
Note to self never again let a 2yr old watch it

They don't let you take photos in the theater. Otherwise I would have shared.
That is awesome!! Looks like you had a blast! I know someone who is doing it in 2018.I've worn a "princessy" tutu before...

Sorry, couldn't resist...the 5 of us and SonIL did the Princess 5K back in Feb. of '16...!!!
We always thought about going to Hilton Head for Christmas, but always would decided against. We didn't think there would be much to do in the colder weather. Does your family find a lot to do? Do they decorate it nicely?
That is a movie my kids have yet to see. That needs to be remedied.Whelp, saw Lion King at the Hippodrome today.
