Meet the parents

Daughter Nic is coming home today to bring her boyfriend to meet us for the first time. He's half Brazilian/half Japanese and his first language is Portuguese, so I'm hoping he will be able to understand me. I will try not to speak like a tourist.
He's a chef, so I'm under pressure to cook something nice. He apparently cooks a lot of beef so I will probably do some lamb meatballs, moroccan style.
Some of the family have met him already: my parents and sister say he's very nice, smiley, well-mannered so we have heard good things already. Not all her boyfriends have been very easy-going!
Nic wants to bring him home for Christmas so that he can experience one of our traditional family Christmases (he could find us a little weird) so this meeting is really to see if we all get on and think that spending a week together would be a good idea or not!
I'd better go now and clean up...
