For Christmas, I was home Friday & Saturday. The fam went to the Christmas Eve service at our church, opened a few presents, put on our jingle jammies (family tradition...we get a new pair of pj pants), and watched A Christmas Story. Sunday morning we finished opening presents and headed back to MO for the big family dinner. We ended up spending the night, then I came back home with mom and the bro for a couple days before heading to Chicago.
Chicago was a BLAST! I was fortunate enough to be invited along by a few of my friends to spend Thurday through Monday at the Trump Hotel and Tower. We had way too much fun. Lots of fine dining, crazy times, and toasting the New Year! Here are a few of the pics from the trip.

The boys from the trip! Bobby, Nick, & Zach. They are crazy awesome.

Gotta have champagne to toast the New Year!
Big ole sushi boat!
This is one of the many fights between Batman (Bobby) and Bane (Nick). And of course there's Zach.
Our group with the awesome DJ for the night.
And this is what happens when we're told to make crazy faces.
We left this morning to snow and frigid weather outside. Glad to be back in MO where it's a little warmer!
And now here's a little clip of us toasting the New Year!
It has been an awesome holiday season. But I'm glad that the traveling is dying down and I'll be back into a routine. After a couple days in Springfield, I head back home for about a week. Then I'll get back into the swing of weekly sessions and piano lessons. These next 6 months will be interesting for sure. This is the first semester that I'll be out of school. The plan for now is to be in Springfield until June, during which time I plan to figure out how to start my own business. Hopefully by the fall I will have started my own MT private practice in the NW AR area. I've got some great resources to help get me started, and it's a brand new market, so I'm really hopeful!
Well, that's about all I have for now. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's hoping and praying that we all have a great year with many blessings to come! Until next time!
