Neighborhood Chili Cook Off (Halloween Party)

Tonight was the annual Chili Cook-Off in the Bishop's Cul-de-sac -- lots of yummy food, dunk tank, painting pumpkins, games and more! Jenna got permission to leave her rehearsal for Into the Woods an hour early in order to go. She dressed like a princess in Janika's former prom dress and looked SO pretty! 

Janika wore this princess dress to her Senior Ball on April 14, 2012 and also when she won Santa Clara Princess April13, 2013! 

Clarissa also donned one of Janika's former dresses and looked very pretty also! Jaiden and Emily also went as princesses in 2019 and so I will include one of their pictures just for fun. Jenna is wearing high heels and so she is actually as tall as Clarissa in this picture! 

Janika -- Santa Clara Princess!!!

Janika participated in the Santa Clara Princess Pageant tonight and she WON!!!  She did such a great job and we are really proud of her!  Janika's best friend, Kiara Christensen, also did an amazing job and got 1st Attendant.  She did a humorous monologue and it was so funny!  She is a great actress!  2nd Attendant was McKayla Redfearn.  She did an amazing job on her piano solo (playing "Tarantella")!

 All of the girls were absolutely gorgeous (and sweet too) and they all did a great job on their talents!  For Janika's talent she sang, "I See the Light" from Tangled and in the middle where there is an instrumental interlude she signed it in ASL.  It was gorgeous!  For her "active wear" she highlighted "dance" and "cooking."  She looked great during the group dance number and had a great smile and so much stage presence!  (This first picture was taking during the rehearsal).

When Janika's Aunt, Julie, heard that her pageant was tonight she and Madee decided to come down from Ogden to attend!  And then Grandma Jensen and Gerilyn decided to come with them!  Janika's cousin, Kallie Sabey, was also in town and came!  Janika was SO excited to have them come and was thrilled to have Julie be her backstage stylist!  Julie did all of her pageant hairstyles and Madee did her makeup at home before the interview and before the evening portion of the pageant.  We appreciate their support and help SO MUCH!!
