I went to the ILs and did my best to be fine with it and to remove the huge chip on my shoulder! It was weird, but we survived and H appreciated the effort I made in going. ILs were reserved with me, no hugs or any of that stuff, treated me bit like a girlfriend that was just introduced. Met my two nieces, when SIL would hand them to H or I, he would be Uncle H, I was just Jackie. MIL did do a scramble and got me some X-mas presents, so I appreciate the effort she did make to include me in present time. She tried, I guess that is the most important part. It was very odd, though, watching H open up his presents from ILs and BIL that were all stuff for his new house. I was pretty quiet, didn't really know what to say. But it is over and done with, so that is good!
Trying to catch up with everything, work, house, kids, so will update more on Germany trip and the coming home.
Ellie, I just uploaded the pictures from Boston, will get them to you soon, haven't forgotten, just slow.
