I've always been horrified by the T.V. shows I see about little girls in pageants, so I made a commitment to myself that even if my girls ask, I wouldn't let them be in pageants until they're teenagers. I still feel that way, but Amber had a chance to be an escort for a contestant in the Miss Utah Outstanding Teen pageant this weekend, and we couldn't pass it up.
My friend Tiffany asked us to fill in for Celina Wang's escort who couldn't attend at the last minute, and it turned out to be really fun. Amber couldn't wait to get on stage with her darling tiara and she stole the show (of course she did...I'm a proud mama watching her daughter just like those crazy ladies on the pageant shows!). She walked, waved, smiled, curtsied, and twirled adorably. I see pageants in her future!
Amber was thrilled to be able to wear eyeliner and blush along with the usual mascara and red lipstick that she wears to cheer performances.
I love Amber's tiara, but not as much as she does. She's worn it every minute since the pageant ended.
It was Tiffany's idea for me to sport the crown and I really love this picture. Thanks, Tiff!
