Aren't Nieces and Nephews The Best?

I don't know about you, but all I have to do when I feel down is visit or call my nieces and nephews. They look up to their auntie like I am the coolest person that has ever walked the earth. Ya, they like to hang all over me and get a little out of control with all of their excitement, but it is the best feeling. All of my nieces and nephews have huge hearts. They are the type of kids that run straight for you to give you the biggest hug of your life. When I had to leave them on Thanksgiving, I wanted to cry because I just love them so much. I called them when I got home and my little two year old niece said "I love you Auntie ......" It was so special. Working with children is not easy. It sucks all of your energy and time, but it is sure worth it when you light up the world of a child, whether it is a niece, nephew, friend, little, or your own. Try to see the holidays through their eyes this year, it makes it so much more magical!

Til next time,
