My parents leave today to head back home. I am still off until 1/2 but have my girls this week. The Dr. son goes to his dad's house today so all next week the Dr and I will have kid free. Going downtown New Years so that should be fun.
My parents got to hang with her on XMAS Eve and XMAS Day. She came over on the Eve and then we went over on Xmas morning so I could give her son his presents. I got her son a drone and some Match Box car race track. I am going to have to take him to a park when he gets back from his dads house so he can fly it. He has already asked several times. My parents also got to meet her mom and sister. That evening her and her son came over for dinner however my girls were at their mom's so it was just the 5 of us.
Both my parents approved and told me I had upgraded and that my XW did me a favor. My mom wanted to go to the W's condo with me when I dropped off the girls to tell the X Merry Christmas however I talked her off the ledge. She just doesn't need to make a big production out of it and certainly not at her front door, etc. I just told her to let it happen organically. My mom is just happy that I am happy so now all that my XW did has been forgiven in her eyes.
I took the girls to Target and had them pick out a couple of things for their mom. So they wrapped them along with a card and gave them to her on Christmas Day. They got me a nice blanket and a couple pairs of socks. It was kind of a surreal moment as I thought to myself about me and the XW and how our R has morphed into a blanket and 2 pairs of socks for presents these days. Then from me a leopard printed pillow along with a leopard coffee cup. The girls told me their mom was currently really into leopard prints! SMH
