There is no greater joy in the world than making a child smile and today we made a few children smile!!! Manny, Chris, Sadao and I headed out to the Boys and Girls Club of East LA to drop off the toys we have been gathering for the past 2 weeks during the morning show. It had to be one of the greatest feelings in the world. I was holding back tears of emotion, not because I was sad but because all these beautiful children made me feel so good inside. Seeing their little faces light up at the sight of all those toys under the tree was priceless. As soon as I got there I saw myself in all those little girls. I was a little girl like many of those that I met today, with a struggling family, barely making ends meet, living in a one room apartment, hoping for a Christmas toy.... I really got emotional. BUT it was all worth it! All the kids got a chance to pick their own toy from a mountain of toys and we still had a whole lot left over.

One thing though I may add, giving shouldn't just be something you do during the holidays, we need to do it year round. Especially to our kids, they are our future and no child should be without love and kisses and hugs...lots of hugs! So this weekend while you are scrambling with your last minute shopping, pick up a toy and give it to a child who REALLY needs it, trust me, that smile you get in return is totally worth it!

After we were done, I took the guys (Manny, Chris, Sadao) to my favorite place in the whole world! Yes...KING TACO on 3rd St. Those 3 tacos de asada that I ordered hit the spot! I was in little heaven!
