Rockwood Fall Festival 2012

The Rockwood Fall Festival was October 6, 2012 in the middle of Rockwood. Addison was in the Baby Pageant and this one was definitely not as organized as they usually are. They didn't have a stage or anything to stand on and she got so confused. (Maybe that's why this one was so much cheaper. LOL) It lasted much longer than the others too and crammed about 200 people in a room that shouldn't have held more than 75 maybe. She got a trophy for "Pixy Award" and she posed for a good picture so we're good. I do these little side ones to get her good practice and to keep her ok being in front of a crowd. I'm terrified doing anything in front of a crowd and have changed my major several times in college to reflect this so I do these pageants with Addison so she is comfortable with it and uses that in school eventually. Plus I don't ever want her being insecure about what she looks like when she gets older like 99% of girls now days are. She loves getting trophies like Jacob and Mommy so when she comes home with one she always has to show it off to everyone. :) Love her!

Cinderella prelim - Knoxville kick off

Saturday September 29th was Addison's first Cinderella pageant of the new year. We found the ticket to making her behave as well as smile and wave for the judges...GUM! Before I took her on stage I told her if she waved at the judges then I'd let her have some gum (she was begging for it but I couldn't let her have it till we got off stage.) It worked! She went on stage and waved THE WHOLE time and even blew kisses. She was even having fun and got so excited that she "did good" as she said. She ended up winning a trophy, crown, sash, and the Cinderella Personality title. So proud! :)
