-Attempt to organize pantries so I can FIND what I need for cooking
-Organize tupperware cabinets and Bans and baking dishes so I can find what I need easily tomorrow.

I am now exausted and retire!! I love hosting and having people over, we have a big family that all live close and unfortunatly we have the most space so 90% of the time we end up having to host. Dh's family and my family are awesome and they are bringing a lot of the food for tomorrow and MIL is coming over about 3 hours early to help me set up and get food together.

Oh and tomorrow night we are revealing our christmas lights (We have A LOT of them! LOL)

Wow, that does sound like a lot of work! I am taking it a bit more simply than you are, store bought desserts, and not so many choices. But your dinner sounds like it will be better than mine!

[flitabout]

Wow it sounds like a tun of work! But just remember, it's not the perfection of everything it is the being together with those that you love. Don't stress to much, and I would get DH on the job! Also see who else would be willing to come over and help you out. Because that sure sounds like a really lot for one pregnant lady to have to do by herself!
