My Little Miss Hickman County

Before you think I have flipped my lid, yes we entered Maddie in the Little Miss Hickman County Pageant last night. The only reason we did.....the DRESS! Maddie was in a wedding last October and we had this $120 dress that she wore once. So, it was her daddy's idea to put her in this pageant. She agreed to do it, so off we went. After $13 to dry-clean the dress and $30 for the nice hair-do......she was ready. There were 40 girls in the pageant, ages 6-9. It was long night, it lasted over 2 hours. There had to be a quicker way to get through this evening. Maddie with her friends Abbie and Kaitlyn Maddie being escorted on stage I love this picture of her, she looks so grown up and beautiful!

Looks a little terrified here!

Maddie made it in the top 30 and then the top 20, then her night as a beauty queen was over!

She had a great time and enjoyed herself. She did let me know that she didn't like all of the waiting and sitting back stage. However, she told me: "Momma, I want to do this again.....I'm gonna do this until I win." The winner gets a large trophy, flowers, and a crown of course. I think she just wants the trophy....if that's the case, I'll go get her one. I hope this is not the beginning of something...thanks Tucker!
