I was not going to do a "Miss Mississippi" post, but since several people have asked me about the pageant I decided maybe I should do a post about one of our favorite events.
Yes, Anna Lauren is still very interested in the pageant...but...due to some other expenses we decided this wasn't the best year to spend the money on tickets and make two trips to Vicksburg the week of the pageant. So...we made it fun from home!
We watched the live feed Wednesday and Thursday night, Friday night didn't start until 10ish so we didn't watch much that night, and then Saturday we had some friends over to watch it with us.
This year, we were a little disappointed in the winner...for sure not our pick. We are big Chelsea Rick fans, and we were super proud of her as she made it into the top five. I remember the day she walked into Millsaps as a freshman and she just graduated. I've enjoyed watching her grow and mature, and since Anna Lauren has met her several times, she is all about her too!
Anna Lauren has watched the pageant several times since last Saturday night, and we hope to make plans to go back again next year. Just one of those fun mother/daughter events!
Since we had friends over for dinner and to watch the pageant, we made cupcakes...Anna Lauren picked chocolate with yellow and pink icing.
And of course...crown plates for dinner!
Anna Lauren wanted to make place cards for the kid table...so...we got creative with what we had at home. Funny thing is they sat on the cabinet the entire time...never even made it to the kid table. But...it entertained her for a few minutes Saturday morning.
