The Evolution of Cass: Christmas Edition

I was perusing my photo library today, and thought it might be interesting to post a timeline of myself over the past five Christmas Eves. I know I've changed, although others clearly see just how much far more than I do - or can. In any case, here we go...

2010 (note the goatee):

2011 (1 month on hormones):

2012 (13 months on hormones; I was sick as a dog when this was taken):

2013 (25 months on hormones, 10 days after going full-time):

 2014 (three years on hormones, just over one year full-time; this was taken a few weeks ago):

I included this one with my hair down for comparison, even though I usually pull it back into a ponytail.

It's been growing like weeds the past year - although being wavy/curly, it had to grow out before it started to grow down. It's also become much thicker (and it was fairly thick to begin with), which is quite unusual, I think.

I plan to let it grow as long as I can; fortunately, my stylist tells me it will keep growing, and that it should look OK as it does. I can't wait until I can put it up in a bun. Perhaps by next Christmas Eve? I guess we'll see.

In any event, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Thank you all for your friendship...
