Oh, that looks great! We've got a store-bought elephant garland that has sort of become a tradition, so the decoration isn't too difficult to organize.

But yes, very impressed by all the baking and decorating. I feel you on the cleaning - I always tell myself that I'll do it thoroughly before the guests arrive. For my birthday I finished hoovering about five minutes before my parents rang the doorbell (and I didn't get to do the sofa or under it and there were whole rooms that were out of bounds).
