Thanks rH. My BIL and his family will go to his wife's parents this year for Thanksgiving. MIL was going to go with them but those plans fell through. W was planning on going on a trip because of that but not sure what she will do now. I'm sure she's mad MIL will tie her down by being here. The boys and I will do our normal stuff for that week with my family.
Christmas is when it will get funny. BIL and his family will be here and stay with me. We had a good laugh about how w and his/their mother will leave in the evenings, and he and his family will stay with me and the boys. Speaks volumes about where he stands.
