She asked me about this upcoming weekend; and I told her I was not going to the party; and instead had plans to go to the lake house. I told her I was not sure if I was going to the lake house yet; because my brother is coming into town (which is true).
You should have just left it as I am not going. You don't need to explain the reason why. You have awesome GAL activities planned with your boys!

I tried to be 'bubbly' but looking back, I must have came off as just same old Chris.
Initial interactions are always tough, don't beat yourself up. I was nervous as h$ll for my first interactions with my W. The more you GAL and gain your confidence the easier they will become. Hit the gym, get jacked, let her get a taste of that.

As she was grabbing everything up; and talking I briskly went for the door; as to motion...you can let yourself out now.
Why did you do this?
As far as the niece and a birthday gift. IMO I wouldn't do it but it's your call. I didn't invite my W to my birthday party 1 mth after she moved out and I didn't call her brother a few weeks ago when he got married.
