For those of you who don't know, Suzi Bass was Cameron's mother who passed away from Melanoma on May 17th, 2002 at the age of 52. Suzi was a very well known actress around Georgia. She played in some very exciting movies and television shows such as Fried Green Tomatoes, Chill Factor, My Cousin Vinny, Traveling Man, In the Heat of the night, and Sweet Home Alabama. The Suzi Bass Awards are an excellent way to honor her.
I am positive that most everyone there was wondering why we had a 1 year old at the awards, since she was the only child there. Toward the end of the ceremony they did announce Miss Makenzie and she got to go on stage, then it all made a little bit more sense. Makenzie looked adorable and behaved wonderfully during the entire awards ceremony, that was about 2.5 hours long. She clapped and laughed when everyone else did and just thought that was the most hilarious thing ever. There were a couple of singing performances and she jammed thru them all. Jammed=bouncing, clapping, and laughing. I do have to say that she really does have pretty good rhythm.
I honestly can say I never thought she would make it 45 mins, and we all are soooooo proud of her (including the ones who were sitting by us in the audience).
This is Kenny Leon, he was one of the first winners of a Suzi Bass award !
This smile says it all at how much fun Miss Makenzie was having ! Mommy absolutely loves this photo.
Taking a look at the program.
These were some of Suzi's best friends. Alan, Karen, and Susan.
