Birthday parties, Our kids have been to about 12 birthday parties so far this year which is great but also a challenge
(mainly for Theresa) because of this we have birthday parties on even number years ie. 2, 4, 6, 8 and just do cake and gifts on the odd numbered years.

The logistics and gifts are probably the biggest challenge, A friend of ours has possibly the best plan she buys 20 gifts at a time when on sale and separates them by boy and girl that way she can just grab a gift from the boy box and head to "Chuck E Cheese" for rock concert acoustics and cardboard pizza.
