Well I did it. BIL not only accepted but was enthusiastic. I think it will be nice having him come, even though brother is struggling.
I just don't want the holidays to be as if our girls and I are estranged from his family due to his behavior. I know that it was a big deal in their mother's life, when their Aunt on her husband's side kept in contact with the family. Always was there for them and her.
I believe BIL remembers this and is being very gracious, or he wants a home cooked meal! Either way, it'll be great for the girls and I will have some good wine!
That's one holiday down. One to go...
