"Easter" menu

I often use major holidays as an excuse to cook for many. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving - it's all the same to me. My family invites people over and I take over the kitchen. Tomorrow is no different - there are 16 in total, and in true A-type personality fashion, I'm going to slave in the kitchen for 2 days straight.  This is what I'm attempting - wish me luck:

Appetizers: 
- Smoked salmon eggs
- Fried artichokes w/lemon garlic aioli

Mains:
- Prime rib roast w/glazed carrots & roasted garlic bulbs
- Salmon fillet on a bed of rapini in rose sauce

Sides:
- Roasted beets
- Quinoa salad w/herbs
- Spring peas w/onions & mushrooms
- Mashed potatoes w/grated parmesan

Dessert:
- Blueberry cheesecake
- Coconut cookies
- Chocolate chip cookies
