I doubt they'll leave you alone for a while to come, but one can hope that the holidays will end and so will the games.
Plan for the worst and expect the best, right? Plan for your SIL to continue the guerrilla warfare (if she really cared, she would call you right? and plan accordingly. She'll try that. You'll react like <insert your reaction>.
I agree with job - they are trying to bully. The best way to deal with a bully? It's to not engage in any way shape or form. Why? Because they'll use that to keep at it. It gives them fuel.

My suggestion? Ignore it like you would a small child that was trying to get your attention by yelling and screaming but otherwise in no danger of hurting themselves or anyone else.
I know it makes your skin crawl, your hands shake, and your feet sweat (well, that might just be me) but it'll stop sooner if you do not engage with it in any way. You have nothing to prove and silence speaks much louder than words. Believe me, I've been in your shoes... Many of us here have.
