My last of the Coca-cola mugs.

Haddon paints Santa checking his list of good girls and boys. He’s just so Jolly. Makes you smile… and want a Coke… marketing for the win again… in my case… a Coffee.

So in the past few days we’ve celebrated my baby turning 16. What I didn’t mention is that she also got her very first Claddagh ring from mom and dad. A piece of her Irish heritage that I’m passing to her. She has necklaces and earrings but her first ring. My first ring was on my 18th given by my mom. We also went to an Avalanche game for her birthday. Where they lost… Ashlynn cried… it was very sweet. It’s the first game she’s attended that they have lost.

Ashlynn, my mom and I also baked cookies on Friday. Not as many as I had planned… I had a minor meltdown… stress and little sleep getting Ashlynn’s scrapbook ready had me on a hair trigger. Other than my meltdown it was fun.

Our cookie day start… funny pictures… because, why not.

And now there’s cookies in this guy. One of my new additions this Christmas.

So now, I’m off to work. Which I am hoping will be busy. Then tonight I am hoping to get some wrapping done.

Happy first cups
