Upwell Holiday Cookie Party (photos)

On Wednesday night, we invited a few pals to the Upwell offices to make ocean-themed holiday cookies!

We'd love to have you over in 2013. If you're in the neighborhood, let us know. We know your Twitter handle, but we want to meet you face-to-face (:

We believe this to be the first ever cookie depicting Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.  This is what happens if you invite the community-minded map geeks from BlooSee to your open house.

Ray, Pedro Valdeolmillos (CEO & Founder, BlooSee),  and Tommy Chipman (Community Manager, BlooSee). Tommy made the awesome MPA cookie!

Happy Holidays!
