I'm always so happy when I hear of people genuinely excited to welcome someone new to their family.
Want to know what is even better? I love her sister too! So we decided that we are honorary sisters. SIL's whole family is awesome. I love her mom and stepdad and her father too. I know we are so fortunate because it could have been a very different situation.
So turns out brother and I both lucked out with good inlaws because while my MIL drives me nuts sometimes she is so good-hearted and a really lovely woman.

That's wonderful! I'm like that with my brother's wife. I consider her my sister & HER sister my sister-in-law...gets confusing if I'm talking to someone else and use those terms! We even went on vacation with sister-in-law's family last year & it was wonderful! I'm 10x closer to them than I am my own in-laws. I'm still an obvious outsider there...and we've been together 15 years, married 10!

Yay! If they are local, it's so much easier to include everyone for holidays, etc. My sister K's in-laws live down the street from me and often join us for holidays.
@kcpokergal Some are more local than others. Sister and her family are about 20-ish minutes away. Their mom/Stepdad are about 1-1.5 hours away (but plan to move closer when they retire). Her dad is about 30-ish minutes away.
