Looks like we had 27 people for our New Year's brunch, if I'm counting correctly. A full third of them are folks we've met in the last year, which is pretty cool; also in attendance was the DC friend I've known the longest. Several neighborhood folks, and several folks who trucked it in from the suburbs. Arrivals and departures were nicely staggered, so it never got too crowded, and there were just enough kids there to keep things lively, without anything getting out of hand. One guest stayed the night, which was a blast, as we stayed up and played guitar and ukulele into the wee hours.
Great way to start the year--if the party is any indication of the year to come, we should all be just fine.
