The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

...is undoubtedly the BUSIEST time of the year, as well! In the weeks before Christmas, I was so busy with finals, appearances, and working, I could barely keep track of one thing to the next! But if you know me, you know that's the way I like it.

The holidays are a very demanding time for a Queen and I was blessed to be at a lot of great events this December. I did everything from the typical ride-on-the-back-of-a-convertible (a beautiful Mercedes convertible) in the Johnson City and Jonesborough parades to singing at the Jonesborough Nursing Home and teaching kids how to make gingerbread houses at the Jonesborough Visitor's Center. Throw in a ribbon cutting or two, a couple of Christmas parties, and a tree lighting and you have a fabulous holiday season!

Jonesborough Christmas Parade (Don't even start to judge my UGG boots; it was FREEZING.)

Jonesborough Lighting of the Christmas Tree...

Obviously this is my favorite part :) I love the kids!

Building Gingerbread Houses! So much fun!

So, now that you know what I've been doing, I hope you all had a blessed and merry Christmas and that you have a wonderful new year! I will be doing a lot of work with my platform. Healhthy, Active Youth in TN in the coming months, so if you have an event that you would be interested in having me attend, please let me know!
