By Mariana Azuero for Fairfax Family Fun Kids grow up. Sad, but true. With the upcoming ninth birthday of our oldest, we have been reminiscing the younger years. Last night we went to Disney on Ice Presents Celebrate Memories!, and it was so fitting.

From Moana’s “How Far I’ll Go” to Frozen’s “Do Continue Reading...
