Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone had a great holiday. I spent part of the week watching my beautiful niece Ella while her Mom worked on Christmas projects. Ella loved helping me wrap my presents. She is so much fun!!

I spent most of the week working which hasn't made it feel much like a holiday break but Christmas was still wonderful. I love spending time with my family and having Clay, Ky and Kres here made it extra special. Plus any holiday with pumpkin pie is a great holiday!!

Miss America soap box

Not very often do I get fired up about a news story but this one got me going. Miss America was found partying at bars, (she wasn't 21 yet) drinking and doing drugs. She was reprimanded after being caught on camera and instead of losing her title she was sent to rehab. I think that as the representative of young women that is not the message I want girls to have. I know, I know, it is just a beauty pageant but while I was growing up I dreamed of being Miss America. I believe she should have lost her title. Miss America to me is about standards and respect. Obviously those things do not matter much in the world anymore. It makes me sad and a little scared to think about the world my future daughters, nieces and friends will grow up in. I hope that they will be true to who they are and have grace and dignity in their lives.
