a few friendly competitions

This January, Mia had a chance to participate in a few competitions.  The first was the National Geographic Geo Bee.  This one is really hard to study for as they could ask about nearly anything.  We encouraged her to study her states and capitals also countries and capitals.  She did not win the bee, but she did have the most poise on stage.  If you look below she's the only one sitting pretty.  

The next event was the spelling bee.  She studied a good amount for this and lasted until the fourth round.  She's sitting pretty on the right.  Again- I was very proud of her poise throughout the competition. 

 

 

 

Here's the competition she did the best in: Fox Trot!  She came in second place at the Jr Cotillion Winter Ball and the water bottle stuffed with goodies was the prize.   She came home glowing, she had such fun at the event.
