[quote=Anonymous]I have brothers (5) so actually getting them to get together and their wives wanting anything to do with me was NOT going to happen. I picked 2 events a year that I invited them; that seemed reasonable. New Years Day and Labor Day. Eventually it ended up just being my friends and they would show up sometimes. I also had 1 or 2 events a year that were "just cousins"... at Xmas time it was bowling and in the summer it was hiking/rock climbing/kayaking (as they got older it got more advanced). The cousins gatherings are far and wide a better event, no adults with their own issues... kids just having fun. You could do pumpkin patch or easter egg dying or cookie making.. whatever works. Also... you SIL and brother get a day off... even pick up the kids. Try to do the same think yearly ... build memories. The cousins (there are 17 now) still remember these events and some cousins are close because of them. [/quote]
