This weekend all of Ben's employees and their spouses flew in for an awesome party on Thursday night. We went to El Gaucho, reserved a private room, appetizers, drinks, steaks and of coarse dessert. We had a great time!
The crew minus Jason Bauldree. They came a little later. From left to right, Luis DeVarona, Mike Speten, Ben, Jocelyn Lee, Doug Troxell, Juan Garcia and Kevin McClintock.
Jason and Karri Bauldree, Juan and Susan Garcia, Ben and Heather, Doug and Lynn Ann Troxell, Kevin and Reshma McClintock, Mike and Kristy Speten, Jocelyn Lee, Luis and Letty DeVarona. Thanks to Luis and Letty (and Emma) who came from Miami, Juan and Sue traveling from Houston, Jocelyn from San Francisco and the rest of the team for joining us as we celebrated an awesome year full of growth and blessing. We are SO thankful for the incredible people that work with us. I am already planning our company summer BBQ at our new house. It's going to be fun :-)
We had a low key perfect Christmas morning. We spent the morning at home. I got up early and made cinnamon rolls, as I have done every year since we have been married. Boston was super into all the presents and fortunately Cooper was up for help, as you can see he slept through most of the excitement :-)
Warm wishes this Christmas season. And to an awesome 2009 filled with love and peace!
This photo is of Boston at the kitchen table with my purple computer. Boston loves to type and use the mouse. He has on his long sleeve "I am a big brother" t shirt with his Ducks jersey over top (Thanks Papa!) Boston loves to use the big headphones because they have these also at the library. So Boston has his Bose airplane headphones to be more library like. He is SO Ben's.

Cooper's new trick is a full on smile and sometimes a coo or giggle to go with. A momma's favorite. Here is a mild smile so I will work on getting a hearty one in the coming weeks.
