Kinda, but they don't need to understand all the extra parts of things yet.

We have hosted Thanksgiving at our house for longer than the kids have been around. This will be the first time without my ex here. We have regularly invited other friends and coworkers who did not have places to go, so that part wouldn't be too different. This girl has kids, and on my side of the family there are no cousins for them to play with, so from that standpoint they will be thrilled. I don't care if they tell my ex, she is not owed any explanation from me. And it's not like I would be making out with this girl during the day to confuse them.
