As I am sure most of you know by now, Mikkelle participated in Utah's, America's Freedom Festival baby contest...and WON! She stood in front of a panel of judges and danced to Kelby's beat boxing, signed a few baby signs (was very polite with please and thank you) kissed all the dolls and put them "nigh nigh." I think even her adorable "Buh-bye" won them over.
She wore the BEAUTIFUL dress my mother made her for Easter...and strangers everywhere were commenting on how cute she was and photographers kept taking her picture (we'll see if they show up anywhere!)
Because she won she got a bag full of goodies from candy popcorn to nu skin lotion and of course
a
BIG SHINY MEDAL!
And I KNOW she had a great time. She loved all the attention she got from everyone and was twirling to her own singing in the halls!
ALSO, Mikkelle will get to ride on a FLOAT in the 4th of July parade! So, if you want to come see the cutest baby in Utah come on down! (or over..or up)
Here are a few pictures that the Chairperson over the Festival took. This is of the winners and their parents! Kelby, I and Mikkelle are front and center!
These are of Mikkelle AFTER she auditioned. Thanks heavens because she was kinda pooty after that! (It was in the middle of her nap time! poor thing)
Sad but cute : )
Anyway, I am trying to get ahold of the professional photographer because I know he took some good ones of Mikkelle. If and when I get them I will post them! And if I don't there will be some pictures of the Parade soon!
