You’re Beautiful

At least once a day if not 5 million times a day I tell each and every one of my children how precious and beautiful they are.  I have no doubt in my mind that they will grow up with the self confidence they need to succeed in wherever life takes them.  Last year during Pageant Time, which is a HUGE thing in our community, Hannah Noelle started asking to be in the pageant.  We did one last year that was a church dress style pageant and she loved it! Every contestant won a trophy and she was so pleased to get the trophy for Prettiest Smile. 
As Pageant Season rolled back around Hannah Noelle said, mommy, I want to be in a pageant with a fancy pageant dress.  After a great opportunity fell in our laps to purchase a pageant dress at an absolutely awesome price I said, OKAY, we’ll do it, but with two rules.  Number 1 rule, HAVE FUN.  Number 2 rule, never let the smile leave your face, win or lose, you’re beautiful! The Little Miss Gulf Coast pageant was this weekend and it had one rule that I was a big fan of, No Makeup! Yay!! She could dress up, look fancy, but I didn’t have to stress with putting makeup on her!Special thanks to “my neighbors” Denise and Deanna
for doing her hair and nails!
Mrs. Neese and Mrs. Nana know what they’re doing, Mama!  Mommy and Pae-Pae with our Beauty Queen!She was shocked and SO excited to get Second Alternate!
After she got her trophy she said, yay, can we go eat now?
It was very ironic that we matched, I did not plan it, but when we got there I was informed I had to walk her on stage.  I was so relieved I had actually washed my hair and worn
non-wrinkled clothes!  Hannah Noelle and her (in her words) Fan Club!
Jadyn, Tori, Anna and Abby!
Of course mommy of the year here, I forgot my camera! 
Again, special thanks to Deanna for taking pictures and coming down my driveway to bring me the picture CD!
I owe you a car wash!!!
 
Have a BEAUTIFUL Day!
