These small towns and their pageants!! Lauren has loved doing them. Since she still had her dress from Prom and the last pageant, she decided to wear it again in this one. We tried to get Kayley to enter and wear the red one that Lauren 1st wore, but she wouldn't. Here she is about to head out. Sorry for some of the pictures being bad. I was in the way back, and Jon's girlfriend, Carrie, took these with her phone.
Standing in line. The girl at the right of this picture was so mad that she didn't make the Top 5, that she left before the pageant was even over. Not cool.
Lauren playing "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera.
And she won the talent part.
She was pretty happy.
And then she won Miss Congeniality. So 2 trophies that night. Here she is with Kayley and cousin Rebekah after the pageant. Later that night all 3 watched the movie.
Because she won, she had to attend the lighting of the Little River County Courthouse the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. She also had/has to be in the parades. She's already been in the Foreman parade, and Ashdown's is Monday (weather permitting... if so, it will be changed to Tuesday).
Kayley got her haircut. She cut off about 3-4 inches, and got it layered.
Where is my 14 year old daughter?! She is looking so grown up!! Very beautiful!!
