Heart NJ/PA/NY Holiday Party -- Save the Date!

Sunday December 3rd in Princeton NJ from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm (and beyond if you like).

Actually, anyone in the northeast who feels they can make it is invited... we love newcomers

I have booked our community room at the Princeton Public Library. It is a large room with full technical capabilities. We can play dvd's on the giant 10x10 screen at the front and we can also hook up Dance Dance Revolution to the big screen. Waitinginnj and I are going to get some crafts for the kids and we will do a few games with them, etc.

We have the community room all to ourselves from 10:30 to 12:30, but need to be out by 1:00 pm when the library opens. SOOOO... I have booked us the private room at the Panera's in downtown Princeton. It is a 5 minute walk from the library to Panera's. We can pre-order our lunch and have it waiting for us when we get there.

For the morning of the party I will provide juice for the kids, soft drinks and coffee for the adults. Snack contriubtions will be needed.

The cost should be about $10-$12 per family to cover room rental and craft supplies... that is per family and not child. Much cheaper than in years gone by.

Downtown Princeton is beautiful at Christmas... great shopping, horse drawn carriage rides, all decorated, giant tree in Palmer square, etc... so, come for the pary in the morning and make a day of it in the afternoon.

Reply here if you are interested... firm rsvps will be needed closer to the date. Just mark your calendar and take this in to consideration when making your holiday plans.

We're in!!! Nikolas, Katrina, and I will be there with bells on. Not sure about the big boys. We don't have Dec. marked in, so this is the first.

Thanks Janie for planning. I wish you were around when I got married you would have had it totally planned and organized for me.

We expect to be there. Thanks for organizing it. Rebecca always is looking at pictures on the computer and likes looking at the pictures of her and Alex in the water at the spray park so I am sure she will be thrilled to see Alex again.

Just got back from San Diego, so I just found this post tonight. Anyway, I will definitely come, although I will most likely bring only one of my sons. It's pretty hard to take them both out when I'm alone. But Dec. is still a few months away, so I may feel differently by then.

Thanks, Janie, for putting it all together!
