Never have I had the space (or the want) to host a family holiday until the past few months.
My outlook on everything has completely changed in the past year, and now that we DO have the space, I jumped on the first chance I got. The thing is, now that it's days away, I'm kind of wondering what the heck I signed us up for!!!!!
I did the math, and what's usually 10-15 people has turned into THIRTY!!!!! Seriously, I'm kind of freaking out here…. I know that everything is going to go smoothly, and it'll be a blast, but at the same time, 30 people to cook for (appetizers, entrees, and deserts) and host is outside my comfort zone a little, not to mention the clean up afterwards!!
I had all these ideas of what to do for the kids (Easter egg hunts, Easter baskets, games), and the foods to make, but now that it's in 4 days, and I haven't even started the shopping, my mind is in fifty-million different places, and I have no clue where to even begin!
~~~INSERT SCREAMING MOM NOISE HERE~~~~
Let the planning and shopping (not to mention cleaning) begin in T minus 7 hours I guess…. I hope Tim's ready to tackle this one with me!
On the bright side, check out the awesome decorations Kenzie and I made this weekend!
The thing about hosting is that it is chaos up and until the event but once all is said and done, the things you worried about prior to won't matter to anyone but you! It will be wonderful and you will have lots of cleanup and leftovers!
