This is intended as a lighthearted thread. Some of you may know that cooking is not my strong point but I do enjoy hosting. Batman enjoys cooking and typically takes care of the food, while I take care of the 'accessories'. Basically, having a range of drinks ready (even if friends bring their own, there's options), consideration to the setting and possibly decorations, and area for kids to play. With the kids, it's typically having games available in a comfortable space; it's just an option for them, however, they seem to like this. As someone without kids, what's funny to me is they typically don't play the board-games and instead use the whiteboard and markers to make up their own game. They'll run out to get a juice-box (drink options), some food, and back to playing.
