Last week and over the weekend (5 days), we hosted 14 people at our house - with my parents and MIL staying with us. I was really concerned about having enough tasty food ready at the right times, so I got pretty serious about planning everything. My mom was a rockstar! I let her know the plan for each meal, and she pretty much did it. My MIL, who is normally a slacker, even jumped in and made the main dish for our big formal dinner. Success all around.
My parents stayed on to babysit for 3 nights so my DH and I could go on a quick vacation to Jamaica. I am thrilled we went, but I missed Big Al horribly.
So - I wanted to say thank you to all who suggested meals. I was really stressed. I took your advice and prepped as much as possible (frozen taco meat, spaghetti, make your own sammies, etc) and it all went swimmingly. Thank you, ladies!
