Harvest Festival Little Miss....

We let Taryn run for Little Miss Harvest Festival this year. This was a new experience for us and it was a lot of work, but fun at the same time. We had to sale candles, make a float and do a little modeling. Building the float was the hardest thing. We waited to last minute to start and it was several late nights and some frustration. We sold a bunch of candles and of course she looked exceptionally cute in her "princess" dress.

Taryn didnt win this year, but that is ok. She thinks she won because Mrs. Debbie gave her a princess wand and princess necklace. That is ok with me that she thinks she won, I'm not quite ready to deal with the disappointment of lossing just yet.

In conjunction with the Harvest Festival there is always a Talent show. Mrs. Debbie asked Taryn to perform as an Orphan in an Annie number this year. She loved going to the practices and learning "Hard Knock Life". We had to listen to that song probably 2oo hundered times and practice the motions. She would do so good at home and in the car, but the minute she would get on stage to practice, she would get distracted by everything else going and forget to sing and dance! Oh well I think she was still the cutest thing up there!

I dont know if we will do the pagent again, we will just have to see when that time comes next year. Here are some pics from the Harvest Festival.


Taryn and her Daddy at the pagent on Saturday afternoon. The parking was a nightmare and I missed them walking across the stage. It was so cold that Saturday, but that didnt seem to bother Taryn. She sat up there and smiled the entire time! What a trooper.

Taryn on her float at the parade! It was so cold, we had to bundle her up and you couldnt see her cute little tu-tu!

Here's Cory pulling Taryn down Broadway in the parade!
At the Talent Show they introduced all the Little Miss contestants. She was so cute and looked so big!!

This is Taryn on stage during the Talent Show waiting to sing "Hard Knock Life"! I must say she is one cute orphan.
