4-H Princess Pageant... 2008 edition

It wouldn't be a normal summer unless I was summoned for "Glam Squad" duties for my nieces. This past Saturday was the annual Clay County 4-H Princess Pageant! It was really a Beyers family affair in that Elizabeth (who is a past 4-H Queen) was the Emcee; Caroline was the out-going Princess; and Rebecca was competing in the Princess Pageant!

I had 3 girls to get ready this time, which proved to be quite a challenge. I'm not sure I've ever curled so much hair, applied so much makeup, and helped them change in & out of outfits so many times in one day...EVER! Luckily, I got ready earlier in the day because we were primping right up until the last minute! I think the word CRAZY describes the day best.

Caroline's hair had a life of it's own...we were ALL scared!

Getting Rebecca ready for her interviewRebecca is all set for her interview! Good luck!

Elizabeth did a fantastic job as the Emcee. Since she had done the pageant for several years prior, she knew just what to do. Caroline was very nervous to give her outgoing speech. She managed to get through all 28 minutes of it! ;o) We love you, Caroline! Finally, the time came to announce the Princess & her court. Rebecca won Miss Congeniality!!! We were all so proud of her!!! For her first year competing, she did a phenominal job!!

Rebecca all ready for the formal wear, and Caroline is ready to go out on stage

It's quite rare to have 3 girls in one family that all end up royalty of some sort! Congrats to the Beyers girls!

As always, I thoroughly enjoy this weekend because I don't have girls to "fuss" over. I'm so glad they invite me to do this each year!!

Enjoy!
