I need to breathe

So since we have this nice new house (new for us) and a new baby, I decided to host Christmas at our house this year. With my family, Steve's family, and the three of us, that makes 9. Add my grandma, my uncle, and my cousin, and we have 12. Getting a little tight here. My aunt wasn't sure if she had to work on Christmas, but it turns out that she doesn't, so she's coming over too. With her family, that makes 17. I'm stressing a little.

But wait, there's more! My mom called me tonight to let me know that her cousin and her cousin's husband will be coming, and my piece of shit cousins will also be coming with their 2 babies. All in all, we're going to have 23 people at my house, ack! I'm having an anxiety attack just thinking about it. We don't have enough room for all these people, but I couldn't turn anyone away, it's Christmas!

Any party planners have any tips for me?

I did that when Ryleigh was 6 weeks old..we had 19 of us (including kids) at our house for Christmas. I will only have my parents, my gram, my sis, my one BIL/SIL and their 2 kids and us 4 this year. You will find room for everyone, and it will be great!

Have others bring the sides, so all you really have to do is the turkey and stuffing!

I think she may have been 7 weeks old then, but yup! Crazy am I!
