Wishes Do Come True.

Honestly I don't know where to begin or really how to put into words how grateful I am. Brady and I have known for about a month now that Millie's wish to dance and be with the princesses was going to be grated with a trip to Disney World. Last night was Amelia's Send Off and Star Raising Party, It was an amazing night and she couldn't have been sweeter when they told her.

Princess Amelia Entering The Wishing Place


The 1st thing we did once everyone arrived was go on a tour of the building. Millie was able to show her whole family all the fun things she got to do when she originally came and made her wish. One of those things was using her very own special key to the Wishing Tower. We talk about the wishing tower HERE.

Next on the agenda; CAKE!

"May All Your Dreams Come True Amelia"

Then AMELIA FINDS OUT SHE'S GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

She's coming off her steroids and since everyone was staring at her she was a little shy, but the second she got home she wanted to start packing. We leave next week and I am so glad we didn't tell her any sooner, it would have been torture. She has been telling random people all day that she gets to go and see where the princesses live. Amelia has NO IDEA what she's in for. When Make A Wish grants a wish to Disney you stay in the most amazing place, Give Kids The World Village. Santa is there every Thursday and it SNOWS! There is a 24 hour ice cream bar, play grounds, a train that drives them around, they get tucked in at night by the princesses and a giant bunny that happens to be the mayor of the village. The list goes on and on and that's only through where we are staying. Millie will have a very special badge to wear that tells all the Disney employees that she is EXTRA special and they take wonderful care of her. She never will have to wait in a line which is a blessing in it's self since she gets tired so fast, plus I'm a HUGE wuss when it comes to the heat so it's a dream come true for me as well! Make A Wish takes care of everything! I can't wait to spend a completely stress less week with Amelia running around in a dream.

I can't wait!

They also got Millie a cute backpack full of goodies for the plane ride. She refused to take it off and it was bigger then she is.

Next Millie got to Raise Her Star. Every Make A Wish child has their very own star hanging in the building. It's a very overwhelming feeling to look up at all the beautiful stars and think of the dreams that have been granted from such and amazing charity.These stars represent hope.

Getting ready to raise it up. She pulled on the yellow string you can see behind her until it was high in the sky.

They also had a scrapbook for everyone to sign. It will stay at the Make A Wish Building but Millie can visit it whenever she wants.

Amelia You Are A SWEETHEART and YOU DESERVE THIS!

Cami just got her box in the mail today and I teared up just having her open it! Now I am full blown crying (AGAIN)! WOW! What a special place!

I know I haven't known Millie long, but I feel like I have. I have read your blog over and over again and watched (through pics) what she has gone through. I know there is much more you didn't share on your blog that your entire family has gone through on a day to day basis. You have all stayed so strong and positive. Mille certainly deserves this, YOU certainly deserve this and your family deserves it! I cant wait to see pics from your fabulous trip! Have fun!!!!!!
