So my kids sprung something on me this morning, and I'm trying to decide what to do.

I say do it for the sake of the kids. We do. Spending every holiday out at my DH's son's (basically my son too) family's house is not the thing I want to do everytime but we do it. His BM is not in the picture but her side of the family is. They are wonderful him, they love him, he loves them and they are sweet to us. Sure past wounds are still there but DH and I always look past them for the sake of our son. Ask them to bring a dish too so its not all on you and it might make them feel more welcome as well. I hope your holiday works out.

Thanks for your advice, I've called up their dad and invited them over. That was a good suggestion to ask them to bring a dish, they've got dessert covered for me now!

That's nice that the BM's family treats you well, that makes it easier. Do you have to spend every holiday with them? That's my fear but maybe it will be less stressful over time. At least the kids will see the effort we are making, and it will make future events together much easier to bear.
