Merry Modern Family Christmas
Chris & the boys and I went to a Christmas party tonight with the Chris' mom & stepfather, Chris' brother, brother's partner, and brother's partner's mom. The party was at Chris's dad + stepmother's house. Also at attendance were stepmom's parents and children from her previous marriage... I guess Chris' stepbrother & sister and step-grandparents.
::blink blink::
Did I miss anybody?
Lessee, that's step-grandparents L & B, stepmom IR, stepbrother & sister E & J (from stepmom's previous marriage to BG, not in attendance), Chris' dad RR, mom JD & stepdad FD, Chris' brother MR and partner A, and A's mom M.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Pay attention, because there may be a quiz in a later entry.
Best line? Chris' mom introducing herself to Chris' dad's in-laws: "Hi, I'm Judith, I'm Robert's ex-wife - the nice one."

Okay, this made me snork, and I needed a snork. (I'm days and days behind.)
It's become apparent to me that there is one distinct advantage to being an orphan. My potential partner will never have to deal with inlaws (which, given my family, meant a LOT). Parents in law, cousins in law, nothing, nobody. That, and the fact that I get to skip Teh Holiday Drama, unless I want to go be a part of someone else's Holiday Drama. Of the - oh, several dozen - people I know who spent the holidays with relatives, only two of them had positive experiences of any sort. You were one. Congratulations!
