I opened a Christmas card today without looking at the return address. It had a picture of my niblings on it. (4 kids between the ages of 8 and 2.)
Me: It must be my brother's card!
Silly assumption. No. It was my parents' card. They did have a picture of themselves on the back of it. Showing off the grandbabies was clearly far more important, though.
(I do feel a bit bad, because mom told me when she received my card that my sister in law wants approval of the wording of anything we say about her and the kids in a mass letter like this, which is fair, but I didn't know that before I sent my letters out. I don't think she would object to anything I said? But still, it's her call what news about her kids gets broadcast to a wider audience.)
