My in-laws (all of them- MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL, niece) are coming next week. You'd think the queen is coming. My MIL is losing her marbles over her daughter being in the US and is going berserk trying to make it a special visit.
She hired a limo to pick them up at the airport and calls me every few days to go over the details and ask me things we've already settled.
Do you and the kids want to come and ride in the limo with us? no.
Does Nico want to get out of work early and ride in the limo with us? no.
Can you come to the airport and take a picture of us with the limo? No. I am not bringing my kids to the airport if I don't have to. We can take a picture of you and the limo when you get to my place.
(They are driving up from Florida that day and planning to get to the airport at the same time as SIL's flight lands): If we get caught in traffic and can't get there in time, I'm going to need Nico to go pick them up at the airport. -- um, no, that is what the LIMO is doing! The limo does not need to be a family event. It can in fact, just pick up Karin, Martin and Lina and find its way to my house. It can. I promise.
Then as far as pictures are concerned, we are doing a family session on Wed. I told them to think about what they wear. My SIL told me they are wearing matching Harley Davidson outfits. I swear I almost died. Because that would not surprise me at all. Turns out they were kidding.
Its more than a week away and I'm already over this visit.

From the outside looking in, the sheer # of times you MIL referenced the limo is quite hilarious!
I am sending you patience vibes though, because I know you will need 'em!

Ditto this. Those stories are going to be priceless, I'm sure. I definitely think a GNO is in order to prepare you for the insanity you're about to face.
ditto.
I will pay extra for a picture of all of us and me rolling my eyes.
Awesome.
I think you should wear Harley outfits. Or is there time to get Liam a shirt that reads "My Aunt and Uncle road here in a limo and all I got was this stupid shirt" because I would buy a family picture of you all with that shirt.
THIS!!
I will pray for your sanity, but I LOVE your stories. Can I come watch your photo shoot? That will be priceless.
I think we should do a gtg with all of them and we can all get liquored up... would be great entertainment
this wife bakes.
One of my favorite cakes ever! I had a blast making this..all handmade with buttercream suds!!!!
