I'm getting old. I'm really tired today. And my feet hurt. I feel like I did a massive party yesterday, but it was the day before.

I think I've decided that 70 people is the max comfortable number. Any more than that, and I don't get to talk with everybody. Actually, at the number I don't get a chance to talk to everybody for as long as I'd like. Strange though, because at eight hours, assuming that I'll always be talking with at least two people at a time, that's 20 minutes per pair. There were only a handful people that I spent that much time with. Anyway, I always figure I'm doing well if I get at least five minutes of quality time with each person or couple.

My cousin Denny and his wife Melody came up from Indiana. Cyn's cousin Carla flew up from Texas for the afternoon. My dad's cousin Denver, came with a bunch of family. They live in our area, but we never see them, so that was nice. He brought his daughter Melody (from Champaign, IL), his son Matt with his wife and two daughters, and his son Dan and Dan's wife Lynne. I'd never met Dan & Lynne before (at least not since we were kids). Cyn's sisters and their husbands came. My mom and sister took care of the food. My dad and stepmom came. My gamer friends, my high school friends, my Scottishish friends, a coworker. A bunch of Cyn's friends. The neighbors. And of course the LiveJournalers - Donna & Manolo, Lynda & Mike, Cathi & Tom.

72 adults, 19 kids, and a few babies.

From my point of view, I re-mads some friends, made some new friends, talked with several people, had some very nice food and drink, and a great time overall. Thank you!

Thanks, Mike. You were under a lot less pressure than I! Just kidding. Okay, mostly. But I'm very happy that everyone seemed to have a good time.

About feeling old in 20 years. Kevin, it was fun and we were so happy to be there again! So thank YOU!

Loved spending time with the Hansenfest crowd. I know so much work goes into that ahead of time. You guys did GREAT!

Now, rest a bit :)

No! No time to rest! Now I have to do all the things we put off while trying to get ready for the party!

OK, actually, I'm mainly resting. Though I'm hoping I can hold onto a little of that motivation and keep busy.

You did well! That many people at our house would just completely stress me out.

The stressful part was getting the house ready.

It was a great time! We both enjoyed it. Thanks again for putting it on!
