MIL loaned us money for our first house, over the years we paid her back, yet she still brings it up to anyone that will listen that she "gave" us our down payment. Husband says let her live, but I find her self-aggrandizing grating on my MF nerves. Am I being over sensitive?

You're taking it as "damn, kids couldn't afford it, so I had to help".
Unless she's really horrid, her perspective is probably, " had it and I helped my family in need and I am a great person because of this."
You only go to war with his mom when it's absolutely necessary. This is not. It's your ego in the way. Pick your battles, boo. Woo sah.
