I love the holidays! Christmas must be my very favorite time of the year -- I love the holiday spirit, the decorations, the lights, the colors, the food, the music, and all of the events and festivities that surround it. The beginning of winter is always so nice! Here is what I was up to in December. It was a very busy month!
On December 3rd, I performed at Wolfeborro New Hampshire's Holiday Fair. I loved bringing holiday cheer, though it was a bit chilly! It was a blast to see Barbara, Kelsey, Lauren, and other friends!

The following day was the Miss Easton and Miss Tri-Counties Pageant. I performed "Superwoman" and helped with crowning since this is a new local pageant. Congratulations to Alana Megna, Miss Easton, and Jenna Nowlin, Miss Tri-Counties.
The next morning, I headed down to Taunton for the Taunton Christmas Parade. The parade was so much fun! Thank you to Bob Burgess of Executive Auto who is always willing to give up his car and his time to drive me in parades!

That night, I appeared on a teen talk show hosted by Young Broadcasters of America called Back Talk Teen, a talk show hosted by teens. I was able to talk about my pageant experience and experience as MMOT, and perform "Hallelujah". It was so much fun! The hosts of the show were so inviting and friendly. Communications is what I hope to major in next year, and I may be going into Broadcast Journalism. This was definitely great practice! Thank you to Katie Thompson of YBA for involving me in the show. Here are the links to view the show!

The following week, I hosted a Singing for Seniors performance. Thank you to students of The Voice Studio for getting involved! :) I also had my holiday recital with my voice studio, which is always one of my favorite performances of the year!
Loren's send off was fabulous. Despite the blizzard, it was great to wish Loren luck, visit with friends, and hear her talent piece for Miss America. She represented Massachusetts so well on the Miss America stage -- but more about that later!

November Updates!
Hello! I bet you've missed me! My apologies for not keeping up with my blog; as you will see, I have been quite the busy girl the past few months.
In November, I attended the Miss Taunton pageant, The Miss Fall River and Miss Bristol County pageant, hosted a Singing for Seniors performance, and was a guest at Blades an Ballons!
Miss Taunton was a blast. It was only the second local of the season! Congratulations to Molly Whalen, Miss Taunton 2010, and to Brianna Bostick, Miss MA Outstanding Teen 2009 who placed as 2nd runner-up.
With some of the local titleholders at Miss Taunton:)
Singing for Seniors is one of my favorite activities. Thank you to Jenn Messina from The Voice Studio for helping to make this such a memorable performance for the residents at Atria Marland Place!

I loved attending the Miss Fall River and Miss Bristol County local pageant! I even got to perform two songs: Hallelujah and The Climb. Both are some of my favorites!
Singing!
Congratulations to Maggie Wakim, Miss Fall River 2011!
With Kelly McBee, Miss Bristol County. Congratulations, Kelly!
Perhaps my favorite appearance in November was Blades and Ballons. Blades and Ballons was a fundraiser hosted by Loren Galler Rabinowitz, Miss Massachusetts. This Figure Skating Exposition that raised over $20,000 for Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals was certainly a success! I had the opportunity to perform the National Anthem at the beginning of the event. I loved seeing Loren's ice dance; she was amazing! I even got out on the ice for a few minutes ;) We won't talk about how I almost fell. I also got to see one of my best friends who lives in New Hampshire, Lauren Percy! She's Miss Strafford County's Oustanding Teen. Here are some pictures from the event!

I love these girls!
Lauren and I!
Look Ma, no hands!
What a fabulous November! More updates on my recent happenings -- appearances, college acceptances, and The Kindness Campaign -- are to come!
Love,
Kendall
