Pageant Weekend

UPDATED WITH ADDITIONAL PHOTOS & VIDEO!

OMG this was soooo much fun! Alaina met some new friends & had a blast! I don't think she realized that all the practice & work was gonna lead to a wonderful time until she got there!

Trying to figure out which way to run for fun lol!

Registration was smooth & simple! We turned in her stuffed animals & books - automatic 10% toward her overall score! Community Involvement - check!! Next stop, turning in ALL that paperwork & a couple of cool awards: Portfolio & casual wear modeling ribbon just for entering the contests! What a way to build confidence in little girls! I LOVE NAM!!!

After registration, we paid for her red carpet pics, which came out really well, then it was off to pick up her production number outfit & unpack! We ran out to grab a bite to eat then back to the hotel for the workshop! It was very helpful. Alaina seemed to think she knew everything that was discussed since she went to pageant prep in April lol BUT it was a great refresher!

The pajama party was soooo much fun! It took a lot to get my little one up on stage to dance BUT when she got up there she enjoyed herself! I even got up with her to do a couple of dances including "the twist" lol... mamas over 30 should NOT try to keep up with 4-7 year olds lol!
