Let the Festivities Begin!

It’s been a crazy part couple of days.

It all started Thursday night with the NPP Party in Boston. We started the night with margaritas and dinner at the Cactus Club. Mmmm had my first Mojito Margarita and boy was it good! After dinner we headed over to Kings, for a few drinks, some free pool and lots of laughs, at the karaoke singers expense! I have to admit I wasn’t really in the mood to drive into the city, search for a parking spot, do a 10000 point turns to get into that spot, but it turned out to be a great night!! I had a LOT of fun with the fellow planners!!! Sorry for the bad quality photos, they are from my camera phone!

Yummy Drink at Cactus Club!!

Friday was a day of PI fun…

It started with a “PI Year in Review” meeting, where each group tried to out due each other in making us laugh. Mike F took the prize with his video on all the place Terawork sent him this year. John W, was a close second with this musical rendition of his travels. This had to be the best PI meeting I have been to yet!!! The meeting ended at the perfect time for our PI Potluck Lunch. What a hit my meatballs were a hit but I must say there were many other great dishes. I will try to get recipes and share here!!! After the lunch our filled bellies went into our new lab in building 600 and started setting up. I had some VERY important jobs. I first started following the Boss Boss around with pictures, I held while he nailed. They obviously didn’t trust me to much, my next job consisted of me digging through boxes, playing “Is this a toy or is it a part?” Very exciting and surprisingly I only got a couple wrong! Oh don’t forget that I also wiped down the work benches, very very important!! Next the PI quality time continued with some good old bowling!! I had been promising them all week that I would unveil my ball that night. It was a hit and Sponge Bob actually even won a game! Bowling is way more fun with people who don’t play every week!! We had 20 people, maybe half the alley, and somehow they knew to put us near the bar!! Ok, I know what your thinking… the PI party must be done, but NO… next we traveled on to Mike F house were we continued the party with a little beer pong and poker. I dragged Ichiro with me for A drink but ended up staying till midnight. YEAH PI!!

Here are a couple pictures of our bowling, check out Sponge Bob!!!

And YES, I was the only girl!

You must be thinking… “BECKY, your Xmas parties MUST be over now”… NOPE just beginning!!!

Saturday night we headed to North Andover for the Lynch’s First Annual Christmas Party. We had a blast and it was great to see everyone! Especially Matt and Katie and Sarah and Ray! What wonderful news we got from Sarah and Ray and we couldn’t be happier for them (and their family!) We love you guys!! Like I said the party was great! It was nice to get out and I have to say it actually got me more into the Xmas spirit!
