Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!

This year I got to participate in the annual "ugly Christmas sweater" day at work!  Yes, those are jolly ranchers and a little holly on my sweater (thanks to my MIL, Karen, for helping me make this beauty).

**winner not pictured - hers was pretty great**

Holidays were just a little sweeter this year - we have Sawyer Rose around!  I love all the family time I get during the holidays, wish I could see them all that much year round!

Papa sure loves his Sawyer Rose

Momma and baby getting a little shut eye

Dad got the shop all cleaned up AND decorated!  Payne Christmas was full of laughs and lots of little cousins!

Sawyer got Bert and Ernie dolls from Nana and Papa!  These two were some of her daddy's favorites when he was a little one.  Looks like she was just as happy with them.  Smooches!

Got a little cuddle time with my first niece, Sadie.

Dally was pretty happy with her Christmas presents.  She even got some new tennis balls (which she is OBSESSED with) but I think she may have a new toy, pheasant!

She goes nowhere without pheasant

Pheasant even sleeps with her

Cather Christmas was great also, had a few setbacks, but a great night!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This year for our New Year celebration, we rode a party bus with around 50 friends.  We stopped at a few bars here and there and went to a casino!  What a great time we had with friends - we may be a little tired today, but it was totally worth every minute!

I love these ladies

I sure love my cowboy

A perfect New Year's Day on the couch cuddling with this lady and watching movies with the hubby

 2015 was an amazing year - graduated from pharmacy school, started a new job, got to actually live with my husband, started building our forever home, got a NIECE, and many, many more blessings.  I cannot wait to see what all 2016 has to offer us, cheers friends!
