January 24th was a double party day. After Taylor's super fun birthday, we rushed to clean up the house and prepare for event #2! Nearly 25 woman attended our annual Miss America Pageant Party. However, this year there was twist. Each guest had to pick a specific state to represent. Then, everyone dressed up like their assigned state and prepared a food item from their state.
There were prizes for the best costume, best food and to girls whose states were named to the TOP 15 during the live pageant telecast. Overall, Miss Georgia (Jessica) and Miss New Mexico (Eleah) won the award for best costume and Miss Lousianna (Crystal) took home the award for the best food. Her gumbo and king cake were amazing!
When the live pageant came down to the top 3 contestants, Indiana (ME) and Tennesse (Leslie) stood hand-in-hand in front of the room awaiting the results. I don't think I've ever yelled so hard or jumped so high after winning a pageant. It was a hillarious concidence that the party host happened to pick the actual winnner. (HOORAY-suckers)!
It was a night of great laughs, embarassing moments and lots of comments about starting new diets. Leslie took him the official crown and banner for placing 2nd in the pageant predicitions competition (again, the host can't win her own prize!) and I think everyone had a great time. The best part of the evening was sharing it with my mother who flew in for a surprise visit to share the day with us.
