I have fallen so far behind but I am determined to catch up. \u00a0Ella is now 10 and becomes more of an amazing person every day! \u00a0On the actual day of Ella’s birthday, we brought cupcakes to school, picked up Ella and a bunch of her friends and took them to K1 Speed for a fun afternoon of racing! \u00a0Everyone had a blast and Sunny made another one of her amazing Disney cakes at Ella’s request.<\/p>\n

Ella and her friends had a blast. \u00a0They drove around the track like pros!<\/p>\n

One weekend later, we flew to Las Vegas to spend the weekend with grandma and papa. \u00a0We had a really great time. \u00a0We stayed at the Venetian and Ella had her first “gondola” ride.<\/p>\n

We came home for another week and then headed to Disney World for Ella’s big 10th birthday celebration. \u00a0Before we left, we got to meet our friend Sheila’s new puppy Olivia. \u00a0Ella fell in love immediately.<\/p>\n

Now for the moment we’ve all been waiting for… our big trip to Disney World! \u00a0This is gonna be great!<\/p>\n

Here we are all ready to take on Disney World. \u00a0The bracelets are called “magic bands” and they get us into the parks, they are our fast passes, they are our hotel keys and they are our money!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0834\"While eating at Be Our Guest, Heather noticed that Josh Gadd (the voice of Olaf) was at another table in the restaurant. \u00a0Ella LOVES Olaf and wanted to meet him. \u00a0She went up to him and said, “I’m a huge fan”. \u00a0He was really sweet and asked her if she wanted to take a picture with him. \u00a0Pretty amazing!<\/p>\n
