You had to see this one coming.  I am thankful for all of my family, and I am sure I will focus on more of them individually throughout the month, because they are all just that awesome but today I am thankful for Cassie.  Not only is she a wonderful aunt to my kids, but she shows such love to all of the children in her life through her work at Van Allen.  We are ALL lucky to have Cassie.

She also helps me put my kids to bed when I am at the end of my rope with a husband out of town.  She is pretty much awesome.  Ask anyone in my neighborhood and they will tell you, Cassie is amazing.

Ask anyone in the Van Allen district under 4 feet tall and they will tell you that Cassie rocks.  She is a role model, a friend and a teacher and our whole community is lucky to have her, but I am lucky to have her in my very own house.  And as an added bonus, sometimes I even get mistaken for my beautiful little sister! 🙂
