Pretty self explanatory, what were your favorite moments of 2015? Pictures are welcome
 
The best chip related event was unboxing the mutha load last summer. When I was done, the UPS truck pulled up with my CPCs only 24 hours before I had to fly back to Saudi. Timing was perfect.
 
I didn't have any big poker wins in 2015. Took second in one of our league games. Came out ahead long term in our cash games. Nothing brag worthy. If I had to post something chip worthy it would be designing my first custom cpc set (which shipped today btw). Needless to say I'm pretty excited about that.

Outside of the chip world I guess I would lean towards having my first grandson.

On the chip front being honored by receiving a Kat Kase takes top honors. Also getting the wheels turning on the Paymaster set and also the HP solid hot stamp set was exciting.

On the personal side my Napa trip with Mrs Tree and also taking my little girl to see Star Wars were pretty special.

awesome sauce!!!!

I let my boy skip school for the first Spiderman movie. Wife disagreed with it.............she lost. It was well worth it. Great father/son day.

How old is your little girl?

Almost seven. I was eight when my dad took me to see Return of the Jedi so there was definitely a feeling of things coming full circle.
 
Completing a two year design process and getting my first 2 sets of true customs made, damn near completing my 800 sq ft game room with authentic outhouse, and finally participating in BBQ competitions.

Professionally - closing some deals with some major retailers who a little over a year ago said we didn't have a chance because they were happy with their current providers.
Philanthropy and Service - Being Elected Sec/Treas of the Texas Shrine Clown Association
Chip wise - Joining this forum and starting the madness! Oh and the unboxing of my Trop set!
And Finally Personally - Celebrating 30 years of marriage with my very understanding and beautiful wife and seeing my baby girl cross the stage and start college.
I have been very blessed this year and pray each of you had a great year and an even better 2016!!!
Only 11 minutes for the New Year here in Texas. Time to get the bubbly and black eyed peas ready for consumption!!!
 
Best 20th anniversary.

2nd best and 1st worst - wife having brain surgery at mayo clinic. She is fine and will be better over the next year+

3rd best is the usual - livin' the dream
 
I've been keeping this a secret from friends and family for a long time now, and the burden has been almost too much to bear. Happily, my confidentiality agreement has ended with the 2015 calendar year and I can finally share this, so I might as well post it here.

I was the Left Shark at the Super Bowl Halftime show.

On the chip front, the resurrection of acrylic plaques.

Traveling to Europe with the family. 10 days is not enough.

Coming back with this beast from Amsterdam:

2015 was one of the worst of my life. No sour grapes, just moving on. Highlights included any time I got to play at Redbelly's, giving my NFC championship tickets to my mom so she could see one of the most unbelievable and wild games in playoff history, spending more time with my brother in law, Ted, who is an amazing person and always provides balance to my life, and finally the best thing I did this year was to slow down at work. I now enjoy what I do again and for all the right reasons. It has allowed me to become a more balanced and observant individual. So it wasn't all bad!
 
I thought the Mapes auction on here was epic! It generated a lot of excitement!

My daughter graduated Law school and passed the bar!
