So, Cassie, today you are turning 11.  You have long been anticipating this day because you believe turning 11 on the 11th has some special significance.  But, I have to tell you that every day with you holds special significance for me. 
I adore your sense of style.  You have an incredible ability to draw and paint.  You are a gifted storyteller and writer.  I am enchanted with the graceful dancer that you are becoming.  I admire your musical accomplishments.  And, I am in awe of your Tae kwon do skills. 
I love that you see beauty in the mundane.  I love when Lacey looks at you, her eyes brimming with admiration and says, "Wow, Cassie!"   I love that you are not afraid to be different.  Most of all, I love your sense of fairness and your desire to make the world a better place. 
Happy 11th Birthday! 
Happy Birthday to a very special niece. i love you from the bottom of my heart! I wish you a year ahead painted lovely colors, filled with many new adventures, and endless opportunities to learn as much as you can, wear as many funky fun Cassie-created outfits as you dare, and enjoy being 11...double "ones"...a magical year ahead! Love,Ant Susan
