                         HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELLA

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, 2020 was a big year for a young lady who 
lives six houses from me. Her name is Isabella Johnson, Bella, to 
friends.
  Bella had a special birthday in April. She was going to be 10 years 
old, but her plans for her 10th birthday changed dramatically when her 
school closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
  Now, her birthday may have only been with a few friends at her home--
Bella is okay with that--but her mom, Juli; dad, Andy; family; and 
friends would not let that suffice. They would not let COVID-19 mar 
Bella's special day.
  So around 5 o'clock on April 20, they started lining up on the street 
outside of my house. Then the signs came out, the horns started 
honking, and a parade of 30 cars crawled by Bella's house.
  Bella was full of joy, as you can see.
  Happy, happy, happy 10th birthday, Bella. We all love you.
