I am a very family oriented man. I don't have any chiidren of my own but I have eight nieces and nephews and they have nine chiidren between them. Seven-teen people, their spouses (and about ten of their friends) call me Uncle. I love it!

You know "that" relative that always has the camera out and posts all those family photos on Facebook? That's me!

I was very happy when one of my great nieces asked if she could have her 13th Birthday party today at the restaurant where I am a chef. Of course you can!

Her Mom and Aunt, both my nieces showed up at 10am to decorate then went home and I took care of the food.

She and her Mom and Aunt along with ten of her friends showed up in a limo at 2pm for a private party. We don't open until 4pm but I opened early for them.

All went well and I got to spend a bit of time with a very loud group of happy part goers. It was a great time and I feel special that she wanted her Uncle to take care of her and her friends. It was a great day.

As an aside, the word ****, (seven-teen) is a bad word here!
