H+P Holiday Party

 

Well, 2016 has (almost) come and gone! What a great year it was. We work hard as a team, we enrich each other’s lives, and coming together to celebrate all we have been through together is something we feel so lucky to he able to do. Plus, eating copious amounts of the best food ever never hurts either!  Here is a summary of this year’s festivities!

This year the party took place at Delanghe Chiropractic & Health…and it was PACKED:

RELAY CHALLENGE

A H+P holiday party will never be complete without the epic holiday relay challenge- which finishes only when all the eggnog has been chugged!  This year, a controversial win was achieved by TEAM WHEELHOUSE: Adam, Trev, Dave and Pat.  Will there dominance ever be truly accepted until they defend in 2016?
