We went to visit with my in-laws recently. I was able to spend the large part of an afternoon talking with my mother in-law. She told me stories about raising her five children. Then she focused on the various girlfriends and boyfriends each had brought home to meet her and my father in-law. I have heard many of the stories before. This time she focused on my husband’s more than she had before. She said that each one seemed nice, but after a visit or two they never came back. “You were the one that keep coming back!” she said. It was wonderful to hear her retell the events that lead up to my getting to join her family.
I hope you will take time to listen to family stories from your aunts, uncles, mom, dad or grandparents this year.

There is no better way to spend time with family then learning the history!!! Thanks for sharing and for visiting.
There is something about hearing the tales that really make our hearts sing. Thanks for sharing this. It is a good reminder to listen so we can pass the stories down.
That is a wonderful idea. It sounds like those stories really lifted your heart. You are very blessed indeed.
I too love listening to family members tell stories. Some of my favorites are MIL re-telling them from the Hubs growing up.
that’s so cool – what a nice way to spend the afternoon! thanks for stopping by!
There’s really nothing like family stories. I’ll always treasure the cool stories my grandmother told me. There are still so many other things I wish I had had a chance to ask her. We don’t tell stories enough these days.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I love what you do here. Be back!
Thanks for the little reminder. This is the first Christmas that my husband and I are spending together, and we’ll be traveling to his hometown to spend it with my in-laws. I expect to hear lots and lots of family stories!
I look forward to hearing the stories that my family tells over and over each year! I love hearing about my husband and his crazy friends from my mother in law.
