Welp, we (debatable - much more accurate in the collective sense of the word rather than the literal interpretation) made loads of holiday treats for our secret Santa party at the office today. I contributed by trying to make my Mothers peanut butter kiss cookies. They weren't a complete failure, but they just weren't the same as the one she makes... Good times nonetheless. Kudos to confectionist and WPER logistics expert Chelsea Ams for slaving over the oven all day and sacrificing a whole day of work to bake us delicious treats! If she had a blog i would link to it, but alas...
p.s. Bonus points to anyone who can name the band who inspired this posts title. Good luck and happy holidays!
p.p.s. There is a huge stray animal problem in Chile. We are working on resolving that problem one animal at a time. Current house demographics are as followed: Four women, three men, two bed rooms, one bathroom, one puppy, and a small backyard.
1) I'm digging the Chileno-insprired mustache - very nice. And I love seeing you with Mom's cookies... wonderful that you made the effort, hermano!
ReplyDelete2) Love seeing the picture of your officemates... the treats look delish - and the champagne even better!
3) The Kingston Trio? Or maybe Vince Guaraldi & the Peanuts?
Much love to you during this Christmas week. We miss you (a ton!), Ben.

1.) I am glad i made the effort as well.
ReplyDelete2.) There was champagne, but there could have been more. It was a good time for sure.
3.) You're kind of right... Vince Guaraldi Trio from the Charlie Brown Christmas album is what i was looking for. You get bonus points anyways. Even if you googled it.
Your cookies look great, Ben! It looks to me like you need to eat more of them - way too skinny! Uncle Jay and I just arrived in FL and are waiting for Kate, Charlotte and your mom and dad to arrive. Wish you were with us. I think of you so often. Have a good holiday, Ben. We love you. AL
