Holiday Party and Luminaries 2017

Happy late Holidays and Happy New Year! On Sunday, December 17th we had our second annual holiday party down the street at Pinz in the Kingston Collection! Neighbors came together for pizza and snacks, drinks, arcade games, and lots of smiles and laughter. Santa found us again and delivered gifts to all the kids. It is awesome to see the Christmas magic at work!!! Huge thanks to Jessica Garrett, Anne Caliento, and Janet Geraigery for all their hard work pulling this together.

Later that evening we also held our annual luminary event.  Kits with paper bags and candles had been delivered earlier that week (thank you to everyone who helped assemble and deliver these!) and at 4:45pm everyone lit their luminaries. It was again a beautiful sight to behold!! Love that feeling when a lot of people all come together to pull something amazing off!! Everyone had fun walking or driving around to see the festive cheer. OHE rocks:)

Here's some pics from both events:
