Hosting Overnight Guests

Hosting overnight visitors??   
YIPES!!  
This feels like a very grown-up thing to do.  
It's only for one night of their week-long visit, but still!

They will be here December 9-16 for my graduation from Weber State University and to pick my younger brother Lucas (not pictured below) up from his 2-year mission in the Salt Lake City Mission for the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Yep, We're Mormon :) and Yep, I finally finished my Bachelors Degree.

The idea of a huge sleepover with my momma, stepdaddy Greg, sister chelsea and baby brother Elijah sounds like SO SO SO much fun- 
but OH the pressure!

Mom, Greg, ME, Chelsea, and Elijah in front
 PROS  
  • Unlimited family time...because I miss that living far away
  • Driving places together (i know this is silly, but it reminds me of my childhood)
  • Snacking & Watching Movies
  • Playing Board Games - CAN'T WAIT!

CONS
  • Figuring out where people will sleep
  • Cleaning the house from top to bottom and inside and out (because that's how my momma raised me)
  • Having a fridge full of snacks and food. (I'm thinking a breakfast casserole & a chicken casserole pre-made)
  • Having a bowl of yummy baked goods on the counter. 


Ok...honestly these aren't CONS.  (except the cleaning- always a CON) I love cooking and baking and entertaining.  I just want to make sure it's perfect because my family never comes out to visit!!! The last time they visited was March of 2007 I believe.



P.S. I'm so excited to have this little bugger 
snuggling with me every night while they visit!!
