Hope as Betsy Ross

 Hope, my niece was able to participate in her school's wax museum for Presidents Day, February 12, 2016.
She looks adorable!
 She is Betsy Ross
Elizabeth Phoebe "Betsy" Ross (January 1, 1752 – January 30, 1836), is widely credited with making the first American flag purportedly in 1776, according to family tradition, upon a visit from General George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, and changing the shape of the stars he had sketched for the flag from six-pointed to five-pointed by demonstrating on the spot that it was not difficult to cut the latter.
