We celebrated our silver wedding this year by taking the family away, our son and his SO, my two step children their partners and children, 14 of us.I too had dreamt of the holidays you talk about and the week away in France met with all my expectations.
We had a wonderful time, the kids all got on no one argued ,it was a fantastic holiday, so much so that they have all asked to do it again, great if we are paying I suppose!
I think we will try and make it an every other year tradition, as there are so many other calls on their time, with divorced families there are double the number of grannies and grandads to visit, Christmas is always a nightmare, I forget the last time we saw them all together.
My main reason for wanting to do it is to ensure that my sone feels he has a close relationship with his brother and sister who are both 10 years oder than him - when we go they will be his family and I wnat him to feel close to them in a way that I never was to my brother
