Starting with the two special guests of honor - Nenna and Aunt Edie, who's birthdays are December 16th (same as Beethoven, my piano-playing savant mother will inform you) lets see if I can remember who made it to the annual family party this year.
from the Blauss clan = Wes & Joanne, Donnie & Sue & Tim & Corey & Julie & Jamie & Nikki & Joe, David & Dawn & Dana & Caileigh, Laurie & Dick & Chris Bianci, Marlene & Thom & Ian (and girlfriend) & Emily (and boyfriend) Freidrich, Debbie & Scott & Stephanie and Al "Sayce/Blauss/Ripley", Mary & Matt Edwards, Yon Hanlon
from the Howland clan = Billy & girlfriend & daughter Shelbie & grand-daughter, Eilien & Russ & Sarah & Selina Burns, Heather & Jack & Jessica Weydt
from the Tobin clan = Skip & Robbie & Travis, Billy, Tommy, Garth, Kathy & Chuck & Sarah & Cameron Fuller, various Gilson's (aunt Edies husband and family who's names I know not)
from the McClellan clan = Aunt Maria, Aunt Shirley, Joanne & Fran & Sean Coyle, Jimmy & Maureen & Brendan &Connor & Kate Daley
from the Doyle clan = Aunt Sally, Mark & two children, Chrissy & husband & children, Julie & Husband and son (again - bad with names of cousins kids, who I see once per year)
random outsider = Amanda (college friend of Corey's who also knows Wes, Laurie, Nenna and others from around town)
*** somewhere around 73-75 if my memory and math are reasonably close ***
*** just a few people short of being one for each year of Nenna's life ***
*** 5 guitars, 2 fiddles, 1 mandolin, 1 Celtic bazouki, 1 bodhran ***
