Work happy hour...

I don't think I've mentioned on here that I work from home.  It is AMAZING of course but the one con is that you don't get to hang out with your co-workers and it can get a bit lonely at times.  The company I work for has employees all over the world so us MN people attempt to get together for a happy hour every once in awhile.  This was the first HH that I was able to attend and I am so glad that I did.  It felt so good to talk with my co-workers on a personal level instead of just going about our business and dealing with crazy busy schedules.  The happy hour this evening consisted of 5 women and one man.  He kept right up with the constant conversation us ladies were having and here is the best part...

He abruptly said he had to take off, I thought it was a bit strange at first but when us ladies asked for the tab we figured out the reason behind his quick departure.  He had paid for the entire tab.  How's that for spreading Christmas cheer?  I am a strong believer that the holiday season really does have an impact on people's actions.  The best part was that he did not want to be thanked, he didn't want to make a big deal about it, he simply made his get a way and didn't say a word only leaving it to the waiter to tell us that our tab had already been paid.  He made this very nice gesture after we had all had been talking about the family our team was "adopting" for Christmas and I truly believe he just wanted to do "more".  To him I'm sure it was pocket change but it was an unnecessary gesture that was so very much appreciated. 

So my dear followers, during this holiday season and always, lets remember how so very lucky we are and lets think of all the people that have much, much less than we do. 

I'll leave you with these sweet little pictures of our baby...I don't love the quality of the pics but this girl is so precious.
She thinks the tree skirt is her new bed...

Yep, sleepy time.
