Beautiful inside and out

K and M recently competed in their first pageant. Actually, K was in one at age 2. I put her in a local pageant when she was 2 and was so appalled the way the adults and kids acted, I vowed would never do that again unless my daughters were old enough to WANT to participate.
So, they both wanted to participate in the local festival pageant. They were beautiful!







M's group was huge and the dresses were all gorgeous




But leave it to K to ask and keep asking, to find a borrowed dress, make all the arrangments, show up for her first time and win!!

My little man T loves to be a helper. Tonight he learned how to cut onions with kitchen scissors and shredded some apples to put in a new recipee
