This is not a fairy tale story, but a story of truth, it is about a little girl who won a contest and gained a friend for life. When the revamp for the Bitty Baby's was released, Maria, my dear sister, was in love with all of it. But she knew we could never afford to get her all that she wanted like the crib and the bottles. So when the Sweet Moments with Bitty Baby Video Contest was announced Maria just knew she had to enter.
Maria knew if she had to win she had to follow all the rules, so she read the rules and read the rules. After she read the rules, we had to come up with an original, artistic, and sweet video that was under a minute, but what could it be maybe a tea party.
No, it was good but not good enough she thought. Then her dad suggest, "Maria why don't you sing America the Beautiful, what is more American than that?" That's a great idea, I will teach my babies to sing "America the Beautiful." She named the video Red, White, and Cute! It took a while to make the video, while her sister Ashley held the camera, her mother and her other sister Sarah made sure the "set" looked great. Finally, it was done, and click it was posted.
Now the voting, each day her friends and family would vote for Maria. After a month of voting, we had to wait to see if they would tell us we won. Days of waiting and waiting, then finally we get an email saying that we won. The house was literally turned upside down with all the shouting. Maria could not believe she won, actually she told us her family every second "can you believe we won?"
Then on one morning, Maria's first package out of six arrived and this one was carrying her new best friend Mary Catherine, that is what she called her new best friend. Here is her opening her first package!
She also received many more packages filled with goodies, Maria was the happiest girl, she had a new friend, she will always remember this joyful moment for the rest of her life.
