Family is Everything - Birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese
Our family is large - there are 16 people in our immediate family. That means, we have lots of birthdays around here. As a result, we have lots and lots of birthday parties. Now, other than the 7 adults, we have essentially created 2 groups of kids: the big kids (ages 18, 17, 16, and almost 15) and the littles (ages 8, 7, almost 7, and 5 year old twins). The littles love having their birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese. It's the highlight of their existence. We're trying to broaden their horizons and get them interested in other things and other places, but you know how little kids are.
Anyway, the big kids loathe going to Chuck E. Cheese. One of them once said "Not Chuck E. Cheese! Can you just chain me next to a chalkboard and scrape nails across it for 4 hours instead of making me go?" That's a bit severe, but we kindly requested his presence anyway. And he went.
That's the thing about family. You often do things you don't want to because it's your family. You go to plays you don't really care to see. You attend baseball, football and soccer games you really couldn't care less about. You rally up for birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese because that's where the littles want to have their parties! And you don't just go, you go with a passion. I haven't seen one teenager attend one birthday party for the littles and do anything other than be the life of the party - all 4 of them!
That's how we roll, and I love it!

P.S. If you need a Virtual Assistant who knows how to help you keep your family a priority, let's talk about it. Lead Management, Listing Coordination, and Social Media Marketing are my true loves. (But don't tell my husband that!) And if you need a service I don't provide, I'm happy to refer a quality Virtual Assistant who can!
