Oh, that was just loads and loads of fun! (As well as loads and loads of snow, to be fair.) What a happy story! I must say, you got all the many, many characters just spot on in my opinion. Ginny and her charade (and bravery), Arthur and his dodgy bag of coins, Lily as super-capable, etc. Everyone felt "just right," much like the perfect party you created for them.
And this bit just made me giggle: "I suppose I'll have to take over," Lily says with a sigh.
"You love it," Sirius mumbles, then yelps as Lily sends one of the couch cushions flying at his head.
With Lily in charge, the house starts to come together quickly. Well, once she separates Harry and Teddy (ornament fight, the ‘Auntie Lily we Charmed them so they wouldn’t break first!’ was not an acceptable excuse) and Sirius and Remus (‘You two have been married for fifteen years, stop snogging and actually hang the damn mistletoe!’).
