Holiday Party 2018

Happy late New Year!!! OHE was able to celebrate the holidays again together at Pinz this year on Sunday, December 16th from 11:00am to 1:00pm. This was our third year getting together down the street at the Kingston Collection for pizza and snacks, drinks, arcade games, and lots of Christmas magic. It was so fun! Santa never fails to disappoint and it is so heartwarming to see the kids receive their gifts from him! (We even had some new neighborhood babies this year!!!) Huge thanks to Jessica Garrett, Anne Caliento, and Janet Geraigery for all their hard work pulling this together.

Here are some photos from the event:

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:

Holiday Party 2016

Happy New Year, everyone! After skipping a year in 2015, we brought back our holiday party this year at a new venue...Pinz, recently added to our nearby Kingston Collection mall:) The party was held on Sunday, December 11th from 3pm to 5pm and was a big success! With such a large space at our disposal, both adults and kids had fun mingling, playing arcade games, dancing, bowling, and getting into the holiday spirit. A new location was no obstacle for Santa Claus, he found us again this year to deliver gifts to all the boys and girls...definitely the highlight of the afternoon! Lots of thanks to Jessica Garrett and Janet Geraigery for planning this awesome event. Here's some photos from the day:
