"You don't have to wear a crown to be a princess!"

Presley and I got to go to the kick off event for Miss Utah 2013 tonight. "Show Me Your Shoes Competition."  Miss Davis County, Ellie Tucker is the coordinator of this year's HopeKids Royal Ball.  Her platform for the Miss Utah pageant is the HopeKids Royal Ball-how exciting is that?!  One night of the competition involves the contestants creating their own amazing outfit and Miss Davis County invited some of the HopeKids families to help her!  There were some very talented HopeKids artists who designed Miss Davis County's gown. Ellie wear this dress tonight at the competition. Presley was so excited to get to see the princesses tonight. We went to Gardner Village and watched all other girls in the first night of competitions and cheered on Ellie. It was a parade type setting. Ellie Let Presley wear her crown, that made her day! Presley was smiling all night. What a great way to spend our evening, forgetting about clinic and chemo from this morning. 

We also got to get a picture with Miss Utah 2012, Kara Arnold.

Go Ellie!
