**A Special Birthday In The Most Magical Place On Earth !!**

Can you GUESS where we've been ? Hehehe :p ;) ... If you cant I'll be MOST surprised, but anyway ...

Last wednesday my beautiful daughter, Emma, celebrated her FIRST birthday, awwww <3 ... But even MORE exciting than that was the unexpected treat for the precious little cutie that her big day also coincided with our recent mini-vacation in Disneyland Paris !

Woohoooooo's all round there, hey !!

Naturally our celebrations were somewhat different to how they would have been if we were at home though, seeing as we had limited resources at our disposal. However we still made a BIG splash for the birthday girl none the less, including lots of balloons and a cute new Cinderella dolly which Emmy picked out herself as the present she wanted the most. She wouldn't put it down all day either ... Awwww. Don’t worry though, we made sure Ruby didn't feel left out. She had her own little balloon as well to mark her big sisters special day, and BOTH girls were treated like Princesses by their doting Father and I.

As you can most likely tell from this piccy, we all had a WONDERFUL time, not only on Emma's birthday but during our entire trip … Can you believe that THIS was the view of the castle which we had from the balcony on our human master’s hotel room !? Amazing, hey ?! Mind you, we all enjoyed endless hours in the parks on the rides too, in particular Fantasyland which is a favourite of BOTH the girls. I lost count of the number of times we went on the teacups, Snow White & Pinocchio rides, Alice in Wonderland’s maze, Peter Pan's flight, the Casey Junior Train, Storybook boats and so on so forth. Not to mention the Studios with, Animagique, the Ratatouille ride, Slinky Dog and the Genie Magic Carpets ... Wow, no wonder I'm feeling rather tired, hey ?! Just THINKING about it all is exhausting.

But back to the point again …

It honestly was a thoroughly magical holiday, which was made even MORE special for Rocky and I when Emmy told us that it was the BEST birthday ever, and EXACTLY what she wished for too !! Awwwww, bless. Sniffle, my baby !! ... Granted it's her first birthday, so there isn't much frame of reference for comparison there, but I still felt rather moved by my sweet young daughters take on her special day all the same.

*********************************

We’ve been back home a few days now, but I still haven’t managed to finish unpacking or catch up on everything as yet … Plus I’m feeling a tad run off my little plastic feet getting the girls ready for starting school again soon too. Blimey, a Mother’s work is NEVER done, is it ? However, even in the midst of all this flapping and whatnot, the memories of our perfect Disney vacation are certainly something to treasure and are making me feel all warm, glowy, and fuzzy inside even now … Mmmmm <3.

So I guess the only thing left to do is to wish a belated …

“Happy 1ST Birthday Emmy !”.
- 23rd September 2015 -

Love from,

Mummy, Daddy, & Ruby xxx

Chapter 203 – “One Less Problem – Part 2” – 17th September 2015.

In the final instalment of this problematic little mini-saga, things take a somewhat INTERESTING turn indeed when my stepsister comes face to face with our Mother at last ! Gulp !! Can they make amends and move on from the past though ? Or is her Ladyship simply biding her time whilst looking for the MOST opportune moment to strike a crippling blow to my sweet sibling ? Either way, I have a feeling there may be a few fireworks still to come. But perhaps with some unusually delivered confidence building advice from a few quirky gal-pal’s, Marguerite might actually be the one to surprise us all in the end ?!

Will we have one less problem when we reach the conclusion though ? … I guess you’ll have to read on to find out …

<3 <3 Remembering Our 1st Date ! <3 <3

When looking back on the memorable moments of your life, there are always a few SPECIAL events which stand out above all others, aren’t there ?  As it happens, today is the anniversary of an occasion which changed my little plastic life FOREVER too !!

It’s funny to think that 3 years ago this very day was mine and Rocky’s FIRST date.  But, oh what a wonderful night that was, full of magic and romance … And how far we’ve come since that life-altering evening as well, hey.

I can still recall the nervous butterflies in my little plastic stomach at the time, and how I trembled with excitement when this dashing and handsome fella pulled my body closer as we danced … I was so unsure of myself, and yet SO swept away by the romance of it all at the time.  In a way, it felt like the first night of the rest of my life. 

I already cared for Rocky before that fateful evening of course, but THIS was where I began to fall ever so deeply in love with him too.  This was where I lost my heart <3 … Awwwww.

If you missed all that excitement the first time around though, and would subsequently like a recap of that magical date night now.  I have to say it was VERY early on in my little plastic life and the course of charting my adventures in this blog as it happens.  But you can find all the details as they occurred here in Chapter 15 – “Waiting For Tonight” none the less… https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.151077561713619.35151.150797015075007&type=3

I’ve never looked back since either !!

Back to the present however … I’m not entirely sure what my lovely fella has planned for this evening, to mark this special 3 year milestone of ours.  In all truth I’m kinda hoping for a quiet night, just the two of us, EXACTLY like that first date of ours … But in the end, as long as we’re together, I guess it doesn’t really matter what else we get up to, hey.

Wow !!  THREE whole years of being ‘Ella & Rocky’.  What a wonderful thing to celebrate.

Chapter 202 – “One Less Problem – Part 1” – 10th September 2015.

Just when I THINK I can sit back and relax, that my troubles are all behind me … I suddenly start to realise that perhaps I’m not the ONLY one with problems after all. Whilst more issues come to light, and a VERY persuasive family member ropes a few of us in to aid their own dilemma solving, it appears that we’re finally starting to get somewhere at last … But is someone still stewing and finding it hard to cope whilst trying to carry on as normal ? And even with all our problem solving to date, for one of us, is the BIGGEST and scariest unresolved issue still to come ?! …

Part 2 will follow another day.

Chapter 201 – “You’ll Be Under My Wheels” – 7th September 2015.

With a mixture of fast-paced thrills, reckless risks, and a rather shocking unexpected revelation to get things started. I am thrust into a somewhat trying situation from there, which confronts not only my strength of character, but who I am and how I perceive and react to other as well … Will I pass the test though ? Or ultimately succumb to my hot-headed irrational and jealous opinions, with the resultant shame and consequences weighing heavily too ? Am I truly the fair tolerant person I believe myself to be, and if I’m NOT, can I actually make it right ?

Mind you though, you may also be wondering WHO will end up under my wheels ?? I guess you’ll just have to read on to discover the answers, wont you …

♪♪♪ “Happy Birthday to me,

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to MEEEE,
Happy Birthday to me !” ♪♪♪.

As if THAT rather out of tune ditty, and this unsubtle piccy wasn’t a big enough clue and hint on it’s own, I suppose I should point out now to avoid any confusion, that today is my BIRTHDAY !! 

I’m a grand ole 3 years old !! … Yep, that’s right, 3 years ago this very day my human master adopted me from the Disney Store, brought me home, and set me free from my plasticy prison to explore and enjoy this big wide world.  And she let me start my little blog charting my dolly exploits that same day too.  How exciting, hey ?!

It’s amazing to recall the many daft dramas and adventures which the last 1,095 days have brought, and I cant help but wonder what the NEXT thousand may have in-store for me either ?  Hmmmmmm ?? …  Anyway, before I get far too rambling and waffley (“Too late !” I hear you reply … Whoops, sorry !!), I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those who have followed my daft dolly tales over the past 3 years.  We've certainly had some interesting adventures together, haven't we ?  But I’m honestly touched that so many of you have taken the time to keep up with the exploits of my little plastic life ... So THANK YOU, your support means the world to me :).

If you’re curious as to how I’ll be spending my special day however … Well, it seems that I’ve had to make myself scarce for a short while (which is why I’m here on my blog right now), because Rocky and the girls are at this very moment slaving away in my little dolls-house kitchen.  Oooh-errrr, hey ?!!  I know, right.  But it seems that my adorable little Ruby and Emmy wanted to MAKE a birthday cake for me.  Apparently Daddy is NOT allowed to help either, just watch and supervise, so it’s gonna be ALL their own work … Awwww, it’s so cute.  But I must admit that I’m wondering how it’ll turn out ? … Hmmmmm, yes well, surely it cant be much worse that MY own culinary disasters ?  Can it ??  Gulp ! … Ummmm, probably best not to dwell on that scary thought though, hey.

Ahem, so where was I ? … Oh yes …

As part of my birthday gift, that lovely husband of mine has also said he’s gonna take me shopping over the weekend, to buy me a whole new outfit …  Yay, I cant wait !!  Rocky knows how much I love clothes, and you all know me, I NEVER say ‘No’ to a new frock !!

But as thrilling a thought as that may be, I suppose I had better get back on with my birthday celebrations now, and check what state those cheeky monkeys have left my little kitchen ?  Sheesh, I dread to think !!  Anyway though … Here's to the next 12 months of my adventures and beyond;).

Thanks again my lovelies, 

Ella x
(Birthday girl at the ripe old age of 3 !!).

**Enjoying a fun family day out at a car rally !**

I know I've been FAR too quiet these past couple of months, and I do apologise.  I've been having a little break from my blog over the summer, and our human master has also been tidying up and rearranging a few things in the house recently too.  Meaning us dolls have had to keep a low profile and our movements to a minimum for the time being.  Hopefully things SHOULD be back to normal soon though ;).

Anyway, we did get a chance to get out of the house for a little family fun over the weekend just gone, when Holly took us along to a big car show called "Mini In The Park". 

And here we are in our own little Mini-moke having a drive about the showground ...  What fun, hey !

We all had a fab day out, as you can imagine Rocky LOVED admiring all the vehicles and watching the action on the drag strip quarter mile.  Plus Ruby and Emmy also had a whale of a time too, I suspect they have indeed inherited their fathers love of anything on wheels.

It was lovely getting out and about again at last though, and I'm HOPING it's a sign that things will soon get back to normal around here.  Fingers crossed.  Especially with my 3rd birthday coming up in the not so distant future ... Wow, can you bellieve I'm almost 3 years old ?! ... But anyway ...

See you all again soon (with any luck).

Love from,

Ella x
