Destroyed - well, we were polite to each other. It was a really busy afternoon and we were generally not interacting with each other, but the kids - I was in the kitchen, he was in the garden, or we swapped over. He helped me with clean up at the end and we had a brief, 2 minute exchange and that was it. I felt relaxed and it was fine, but it was friendly rather than friendship, if that makes sense.
The next morning, with presents, it was only an hour or so, and I made coffee and then we focused entirely on Youngest. We gave all the presents together, and I think next year we will move towards each just getting our own present for the kids' birthdays, but it isn't really a hill I felt I needed to die on right now.
