Life With Ella

I am going to continue our vacation pics, but I want to talk about Ella’s day today.  Sunny and I went to Ella’s classroom this afternoon and brought in cupcakes for the class – chocolate with chocolate of course.  Ella stood in the center of the circle time rug and her class sang “Happy Birthday” in English, Spanish and Chinese!  I have a video of it which I will post in the next few days.  After school, Ella had Tree Frog Treks where she met a turtle and played with a worm.  Ella had ballet after that and she was beautiful.  She did a fantastic job.  I will post pics and videos this week.  The video at the end is from a feature at California Adventure Park called Turtle Talk With Crush.  It was dark in the theater, but you can hear Ella’s voice over the microphone.  Crush picked her from the audience to ask a question.  She was thrilled.  Now for more photos. We stayed at a Howard Johnsons  for one night at Disney.  Ella loved that there were bunk beds in her room (we got a kid’s suite).  Tomorrow, I will download the photos and movies from the pool at this place.  It was a perfect place to stay with kids. Ella really wanted to pose with Mickey! THe birthday pin. Very excited to be on Soarin’ again! At Turtle Talk with Crush.Best spot to be to see a parade! We really thought Ella was going to pass out when she met Tiana.  Check out Ella’s high shoulders. Jesse telling Ella all about Jack and Malefacent. Ella showing off her new Hannah Montana sweatshirt that Heather gave her.  She almost ran into traffic when Heather gave it to her. Playing games while waiting on line for Small World. Ella looking like a little thug on It’s A Small WOrld.  It was really beautiful. Beautiful holiday lights. Having a blast with Jesse and Heather. On the Nemo submarine.  Ella took our hands and gripped them so tightly.  Half way through the adventure, she let go! On the Autopia ride…Heather let Ella drive and Ella did such a great job that she earned a driver’s license! Mommy loved Autopia too! Waking up at Heather and Jesse’s house.  Ella loved her message and she colored it in.Hanging out with Inca, Shirley, Bob and Snake.What an amazing trip.  We loved seeing the family in Tucson and LA!  Thanks so much for making Ella’s 5th birthday so special.
