WE HAVE BIG NEWS!
Millie was nominated by our homehealth nurse, Dylan, to MAKE A WISH!
We are so excited for her! Life has been more then unfair to her the last 6 months plus if you count everything she went through with Austin. We are so grateful that she is going to be able to have her Wish Come True!
It was such an amazing experience for her, along with Brady and I. When we arrived there was this sign that said, "Welcome to the Wishing Place Amelia". I immediatly started crying.
We were too busy taking in every moment and I didn't take too many pictures.
Next they took us all out to their wishing pond where we were given a special wishing token. All of us were able to make a wish in the pond. Then we went upstairs and played some games with Millie so they could get to know her and figure out what her True Wish would be. She came up with dancing with the Princesses, Having a Picnic with them, and swimming with the Princesses.
They had mailed us a special key to their wishing tower and Millie carried it around on a necklace. She was so excited when it came time to use it.
The room was full of fun lights that would change colors and a waterfall in the middle. When we entered Brady and I read our own wishes to Millie, it was very personal and a lovely moment with our family. In the middle of the room there was a cone for Millie to submitt her wishes to the Wishing Wizard. When she placed them inside The lights started going crazy!
It was truly a magical evening. Millie is so deservings of this and I can't wait for her party when they will announce what she will be doing.
(They have talked to Brady and I and it looks like they will be sending her to Disney World to be with the princesses and have a week of being a "normal" kid)
