Happy Birthday, Cassie


Today is Cassie's 15th birthday.  This is the year that she started high school.  It will also be the year that she celebrates her confirmation.  But, it will mainly be remembered as the year of ballet.  She joined the Manassas Youth Ballet; danced in her first Nutcracker; competed in the Youth America Grand Prix; performed in the wedding scene from La Bayadere; and will soon be part of the Manassas Ballet Theatre's "Cinderella."  I will remember this year as the year I gave her the freedom to follow her dream.  Oh, I will also remember it as the year I spent driving, watching classes, and helping in the dressing room.  We are really proud of Cassie and her hard work.  I selected photos that highlight Cassie's year.

My beautiful daughter!

    love love love you!! I am so proud of you. Dance your dreams. Grandma gave me a poster when I was about your age with ballet shoes on it that read "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it". I will always remember these words and my special mom who believed in me. I believe in you.
