I only had 7 over , including me . My mom and dad , mom ' s sister , dad ' s brother , my daughter and her boyfriend . Still had to cook a ton of food that took all day and I got stuck doing it all by myself . I learned my lesson , I ' m not doing it again . We can go to the casino buffet next year . That ' s what my daughter ' s dad ' s family does every year and where she ' d gone earlier before coming to my house . I guess the only good thing is that my family never gets into fights , everyone is polite and catches up on stuff . My sister and her family didn ' t come and that was somehow blamed on me because I didn ' t ask her over , but she doesn ' t speak to me and never wants to cook so they go to her inlaws where she doesn ' t have to lift a finger , so I knew already that ' s what they ' d be doing . But she still had to call my parents and give them a sob story how they ' weren ' t invited ', so I look like the bad sister . Whatever .
