3) Don't forget moving costs.

We're only moving across town and most of our stuff will be moved in the car and the truck, but we do have furniture and appliances that would be better moved in a moving truck - so we'll have that cost. I haven't started calling about that yet, but I've budgeted $150 (please let it be less).

If friends will be helping with the heavy stuff - plan to take them out to dinner or otherwise feed them. We're hoping that his family will be good sports when they're down for christmas and help with this stuff, I'll have pizza and sodas and the ubiquitous iced tea.
