Thank you for starting us off, FFB. How lovely to have your DSis visit with her family. I know you're very conscientious and understandably want to make everything really nice for them, but please do remember they've come to see you and spend time with you, not to perform a military inspect of the house. You don't want to be so tired and frazzled that you can't enjoy your time together. BTW, lasagna sounds perfect!
