We have never watched a single season of American Idol, until now. This season, my girls were captivated by Hollie Cavanaugh, one of the top 4 finalists.
Not only is Hollie a McKinney girl, but also, she attended Glen Oaks Elementary. The whole school was cheering her on as she made her way through the competition.
Each week, we watched faithfully and our two little "HolliePops" cheered for their favorite Glen Oaks Tiger from our living room. We even bought "HolliPops" in downtown McKinney in support of Hollie's favorite charity, St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
Today, was declared "Hollie Cavanaugh Day" in McKinney. We went to her Homecoming concert and parade in downtown McKinney and had a ton of fun.
Lily woke up at 6:15 this morning so she would have time to make this poster and not be late for the parade. She even wore pink because it is Hollie's favorite color. I guess you could say she was just a little excited!
Our HolliePops waited patiently while Daddy and Jack went to find us the perfect spot to see their favorite American Idol.
Chocolate ice cream cones helped make the time pass a bit more quickly as we waited for the parade to begin.
We bumped into one of Sofie's soccer buddies at the parade and they had fun making posters before it started.
Here she comes!
Hollie Cavanaugh...McKinney's American Idol, and a fabulous role model for my sweet girls.
After the parade, we enjoyed a short concert. Hollie sang several songs from American Idol, including Lily's favorite..."Bleeding Love".
While Lily took in every moment of the concert,
Sofie enjoyed the opportunity to help baby McKenna with her bottle.
As Lily would say..."Hollielujah" for great role models. Congratulations Hollie Cavanaugh!
