Happy Holidays! My name is Jordan Johannsen and I am so excited to be Miss Irving 2010! I am a 21 year old student at Texas Christian University where I am majoring in Business. I am so excited about serving as Miss Irving 2010 and can't wait to see what the year brings!
The first weekend in December, I had the opportunity to be in the City of Irving Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting. Despite the cold winter weather, many people came out to show support and to see the incredible floats in the parade. A HUGE Thank You so much to Grapevine Ford for allowing us to borrow a beautiful convertible for the afternoon.
Lydia ( Miss Teen Irving) came into town for the parade as did all four of our princesses. This was the first time all 6 of us have been able to get together and we have the best time getting to know each other! We spent the afternoon sharing laughs and talking about what we hoped to get from Santa while enjoying hot chocolate and of course riding in the parade.

We also all got announced at the tree lighting ceremony for all of the toys and food we collected for the City of Irving's Blue Christmas food and toy drive! We only had a week to collect things and I was so impressed how much we collected between the 6 of us! Hopefully we are able to help put a smile on several kids and parents faces this holiday season!
But the day wasn't done yet! After the parade and tree lighting ceremony we headed to the Magic Time Machine in Addison for the Miss Irving Holiday Party! Several of the board members, as well as family came to join in on all the fun! Lydia, the princesses and I got to be seated in a really cool tree house and had dinner served by Dennis the Menace! I was feeling brave enough to try one of the "special potion" drinks that came in all sorts of colors! Mine was bright red and bubbled! Lydia, was daring enough to try the one the called "Ugly" and was black and bubbly! After dinner we all exchanged gifts with each other and finished the night off with an ice cream treat! Needless to say it was a great way to top off a fun day!
I had such a great time hanging out with all of my awesome princesses, Lydia and of course the entire Irving board. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this event a great success. At this time of year I am especially thankful for my wonderful pageant family. Merry Christmas to all! May your holidays be filled with lots of laughter, love and family!
All my love,
Jordan
