I was fortunate to spend New Year’s in the Kansas City area with my family.  One of the unique sights of Kansas City is the Country Club Plaza area.  And it is even more beautiful during the holiday season, when the buildings are lined with lights.  I’ve made a point to photograph here whenever I’m in the area, and this trip I was lucky to have my niece Lucy photographing with me.  Although the night was cool by Kansas City standards, we had a grand time and enjoyed the festivities of the area.
