The Dancer

Cassie has been in Ballet now for the last 3 months. Her class performed yesterday for the Festival of Trees and Lights.


She did a really great job, she never looked nervous and always had her eyes on the crowd, providing a smile and a little attitude to the CONSTANTLY stuck in my head for the past three months tune of "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"
