Holiday Party 2014

Happy New Year! We held our second annual holiday party on Sunday, December 21st from 5:30pm to 9:30pm down at the Union Grove. Despite some rainy weather that put a bit of a damper on the luminary display, we had a great time inside together!!

Lots of good food....thank you so much to our very own Simon and Lea Bellan's Euro Mart Catering who provided all the main courses (it makes us so happy to support OHE businesses!) and to all the neighbors who pitched in with yummy appetizers, side dishes, desserts and drinks.

Lots of good music (big shout out to neighbor Kris Hoxie who DJed for us!), games, and crafts kept everyone busy. And of course, the main event was definitely the visit from Santa Claus....all the kids loved their gifts!

Here's some pics from the event:
