Can I tell you that I just LOVE your mother?
She reminds me of mine...
This year, Christmas was supposed to be at my Grandmas...My mom was there a few weeks before hand, and my Grandma was hemming and hawing...She said "But we just painted and got new flooring throughout the entire house..."
And my mom said "The only two kids that will be here are Adam and Joey...and if you don't want them here, fine...but you can cross the rest of us (my parents, brothers, their gf's, us and our boys) off our list because we go where THEY go".
My grandma then proceeds to tell her no, it wasn't about our boys, but about a cigarette burn my mom and uncle put in the carpet last time they replaced it...In the 70's...when they were like 20...
Sigh...such is my family. And my in-laws are worse.
Anyway, the kids had the flu on Christmas Eve/Day. We stayed home. It was our best Christmas ever. I HIGHLY recommend it...
