He did it again

Hubs has a brother, R. R is an immature jerk. R and I go back many years with our love hate relationship. R has recently married his partner, C. We all (Hubs, the kids and I) adore C. However, R is a major PITA.
Last night, we had a family dinner because Aunt R and Uncle A where in town visiting. My MIL hates to have everyone over, so I offered to host dinner. When this was brought up on Monday, R and C had other plans. They had told MIL that they would see everyone on Sunday and that we could have Saturday to visit and see Aunt R and Uncle A. I planned the meal and prepared my famous Lasagna on Friday evening. Everything was going to be very layed back, so that I could visit also.
Aunt R is an awesome photographer, so I asked her if she would snap a few pictures at a local park, so that I could design our Christmas cards. She said yes, so we planned that for the afternoon.
As I was driving home from school on Friday, I got a text that R and C would like to join us on Saturday night for dinner because their plans for the weekend had changed... That is where the drama starts.
I call Hubs, he said yes invite them to make MIL happy. I say ok, and call C. I would rather talk with C then talk with R. C asks me what can we bring, I say nothing. He tells me he can not wait to see the kids and us. He is an overall lovely person, he adores our children.
After we hang up the phone this is the exchange of text messages that flew. (NO, I was not driving, by now, I'm sitting at the doctor's office with the kids to get their flu shots)
R: We will be there are 4.
Me: Make it 5, we are taking pictures in the afternoon.
R: what kind of pictures
Me: family for our Christmas card
R: With Mom and Dad
Me: No, just the four of us
R: without mom and dad... how rude
Me: they will be there, but we only put the four of us on our card every year
Me: I'm sure we will snap a few of your mom and dad with the kids
R: oh, ok, I guess
Me: See you around 5
R: what do you want us to bring
Me: nothing
R: What are you serving, so we can bring wine
Me: Lasagna, but remember no one drinks but you two
R: I do not care, we will bring a bottle
Me: see you then...
Now, Hubs calls me on his way home while this is all going down, I'm pissed. Hubs and I want to keep the peace with them, so that MIL is not stressed out. Hubs, the kids and I met for dinner Friday evening, went grocery shopping and headed home to make dinner for Saturday night.
When we got up yesterday, we took the kids to the fair and then headed home to get ready for the pictures. We where late getting home and the in-laws where late getting here. Once everyone was here and ready we left and went to the park. The picture session was awesome. Aunt R took lots of great shots for our card and everyone was happy. We headed home for dinner.
R and C arrived shortly after we got home but way before the 5 pm hour. I rolled my eyes and stayed in the kitchen.
R stayed down stairs for a while and C came right up to play with the kids and to visit. He sat down and colored with our daughter and talked graphic design with our son. At least as much as a 10 year old can. He is wonderful about including them, talking to then and not down on them, and asking them about their lives.
When R came upstairs and he asked where everyone was. I told him what everyone was up to but kept working on downloaded the pictures for Aunt R.
R and I have a fun little exchange...
He came in carring a bottle of wine...
R: Where is the bottle opener?
Me: on the counter, I layed it out for you.
R: I do not see it...
Me: it is to the right of the sink, the red and black thing
R: oh, I have never seen one like that before (for the record, it is a XOXO one that is rather large, because the only other person who opens wine in our house in my mom and she has no feeling in her hands from spinal surgrey many years ago)
R opens the bottle and then I hear...
R: where are the glasses?
Me: on the counter, I got them out and even washed them for you, since they have not been used since Easter.
R: This one has a spot on it...
Me: so wash it- the sink is right there
C chimes in: Give me the one with the spot- it adds character to the glass of wine...
R: no, dear, I will not have you drinking from a dirty glass..
Me: rolled my eyes and did not say another word...

We have diner, it was fun to sit around and gab, catch up and generally enjoy each others company. I did not time dinner perfectly, so it ran late and it was getting close to the Ohio State kick off. Aunt R and Uncle A never miss a game, so I wanted to make sure they where able to see it. I sent everyone down stairs to watch the game. I cleaned up dinner with C's help. We chatted and before we know it, dinner was put away and the kitchen was clean.
We sat down and went through the pictures that Aunt R had taken and talked about our Christmas cards.
R was jealous... he kept coming in and asking what we were talking about, what we were doing and why we were still up here...
They left shortly after dessert As they were leaving R hugged me and asked me what he owed me for dinner. I just answered "you're being a jerk.... remember we talked about how rude that was and unless you want to be made to look like the ass you are being you had better stop it right now!" He pulled away and said good bye to everyone else.
We enjoyed the rest of the game. Aunt R and Uncle C where not happy with the outcome, but we did enjoy watching it all together.
Once everyone left, I got the kids to bed, and enjoyed a cranberry flip.
