Miss VC 2012: Moorpark Kiwanis Breakfast with Santa!

With Two Wonderful Kids!

On December 15, I acted as Santa's Helper and volunteered for the annual Breakfast with Santa event sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Moorpark! Held at the Boys and Girls Club in Moorpark, the event included some tasty breakfast for the families in attendance, along with a visit and photo with Santa, candy canes and a photo op with Miss Ventura County, and the chance to pick out a toy from the toy table! It was a LOT of fun and SUCH a joy and blessing to watch the faces of the kids that visited Santa and then picked out their favorite toy!
To be honest, I was struggling with getting into the Christmas spirit this season. Between finals at CSUN and figuring out holiday plans with my family, Christmas was beginning to feel like something to get through rather than something to enjoy and be thankful for... but appearing at this event, seeing the incredible looks of joy and happiness on the faces of the kids and their families... it really put me in the Christmas spirit! I am so grateful to have had a part in this incredible event that brings joy and Christmas to families who otherwise may not have been able to have it.
