February 19 - Vanderbilt Children's Hospital

This was our first party for 2016. We hosted 14 girls with bright colored nails and glossy lips!

The Tutu Ladies once again were able to bring their talents to puts huge smiles on these little faces. Very sweet to witness the hardship of picking the perfect tutu and capes. I so enjoy watching these ladies interact with the children. They have a heart of gold.

We were honored with the appearances of some very special ladies. We had in attendance to insure smiles were contagious: Melissa Bassler, Mrs. Tennessee United States, Hope Stephens, Miss TN USA 2016, Savannah Chrisley, Miss Teen USA 2016, and Autumn Allison, Teen Miss Putnam Co, also volunteering their time and talents were Morgan Bivins and DeLaney Henry. These ladies are such wonderful role models for the children.

We had a little girl that came with bright pink lipstick already on, so we matched her nails with the bright pink polish!! I have great volunteers that work their magic on painting nails and lips, and the huge task of the perfect CROWN!!

Our lucky boys were treated to the Nashville Firefighters Engine 16, these guys are so great with these kids. Big thank you to Wade Shoemaker, that came on his day off, to ensure that we would have firefighters there for the children. We had 5 boys excited to hang out and talk to the firemen, they help them pick out party favors and share in some laughs. It was great for the girls to see that they too can be a firefighter!! They were encouraged to try on the actual gear that had the great smoky smell to it!!

Another HUGE thank you to all the volunteers that devote their precious time to put huge smiles on these precious children faces if only for an hour, the memories made in that hour will last a lifetime.

So looking forward to more parties and making smiles in 2016!!
