When does a family visit turn into a mini reunion, 75th birthday party and a wedding celebration...only in Cape breton

When we decided we were going to go back home for a visit I called my cousin Sandra to let her know we were coming. She said there was going to be a birthday celebration for her mom..my Aunt Eva, my Dad's sister.  She invited us to her 75th birthday party.   This is when it turns into a mini family reunion, my Uncle Ralphie  from Halifax (I have not seen him since I was about 12) my Aunt Ralphina from Halifax who I last saw  4 yrs ago for the first time in 32 yrs,  Ralphie's son Ryan, whom I have never met, his adorable 3 yr old son and his cute girlfriend.  My cousin Anne Marie  from Ontario ( I have not seen since I was 16) and her charming and beautiful daughter.  My cousin Mary Catherine and husband were also there from Halifax. We went out for a nice dinner at a local restaurant and then went back to Sandra's for cake.

Cousin Sandra (Eva's youngest daughter) and my Uncle Ralphie my Dad's youngest brother.

Aunt Eva, my Dad's sister.  She looks amazing for 75..I hope I have some of her good genes!!

My Aunt Ralphina...I didn't have my glasses on when I went into the restaurant and thought she was Eva..man they look alike.
