Princess Tea Party!!!

Today, March 7th, was the Litchfield County Princess Tea Party!! It was held at the First Congregational Church in Watertown, CT and it was a fundraiser for Miss Connecticut and the Children’s Miracle Network. The Litchfield County moms, queens, and lovely Phyllis arrived at 11am to turn the hall into an enchanting Princess ballroom. Our guests arrived at 1:00 and were greeted at the door by Tara and Brianna. Kirsten and I also crowned each Princess upon entrance, and Prince charming escorted each Royal guest to their tea cup place settings. There was a variety of deserts and goodies such as miniature cupcakes, cookies, donuts, fruit, vegetables, cheese/crackers, and everybody drank iced tea of course. After mingling for a bit, everybody dispersed to different stations of fun activities to do. There were arts and crafts: wand and crown making, nail painting, and balloon animals. Next, we played a few games: Pass the glass slipper, the limbo, and pin the crown on ME! (haha) All of the princesses had a great time with these games and they were able to win prizes! Kerstin and I both sang Disney songs, and we were so lucky to even have some of our talented Princesses sing songs as well. We ended our afternoon of fun with raffles that included crown cases filled with treats, a Princess tent, and 2 passes to Disney theme parks that were donated by Tara and her family! Everybody was very excited for that raffle to be announced! Overall, this event went perfectly and it really was a big success! I couldn’t have done it without ALL of the Litchfield County families, my family, the queens, and most importantly Phyllis. I can’t thank everybody enough who helped to organize everything and to everybody who came to support this fundraiser. I am very lucky :) I hope everybody had a wonderful day, I know I did!

Bridal Show

On Sunday Morning, March 1st, I was a model at the Palace Theatre for a Bridal Show. I modeled Megan’s beautiful dress from the Wedding Embassy. Diona Greco and Liz Pizzano were there too and we really had a great time. All of the bridal gowns were absolutely beautiful and I was so happy to see both Megan and Natalie Testa!

Also, Happy 17th Birthday tomorrow Kirsten..(March 2nd) Love you and I’m so happy I got to see you this past weekend!!!!!

Miss New London County/ Miss Rose of New England

On Saturday night was the Miss New London County/ Miss Rose of New England Pageant. It was a great show and there were many new faces! I had the pleasure of getting to know Kara and Marissa this past year, they both did a wonderful job as representatives. Amaryllis Rodriguez won the title as Miss Rose of New England. She looked so beautiful on stage and did a wonderful job. Ashley Membrino won the title of Miss New London County. I have to say I think I was just as excited as she was when her name was called!! I have known Ashley for a long time now and we have become very close within the past couple of years. She has been working so hard and this title is so well- deserved for her. She did incredible. I look forward to spending Miss Connecticut with so many great people!

Penguin Plunge!

February 15th was the Penguin Plunge!! Team Litchfield County Crystal Crowns – Myself, along with Tara, Brianna, Maggie, Frank, and Brendan (the brave Yerger.. haha) all jumped into the only part of the water that was not covered in ice. I think I can vouch for all of us that it was freeeeezzzzinnnggg!! We all had so much fun and we were able to raise money for the Special Olympics. Brianna raised over $100 for our team. Great Job!
