So the New Year has come and the guessed about date of Amelia’s wish trip is coming. Last week we got a flyer in the mail saying that there would be a party with and for all of the Princesses in Make A Wish Land. Of course Amelia wanted to go right away. I had the flyer on my desk and just had not gotten around to emailing about the party yet when I got an email from one of the ladies that is working on Amelia’s wish.
She wanted to make sure that we were going to be at the party so that they could announce that her wish had been granted! Of course I emailed right back and said “Yes she will be there!”
Amelia has been counting down the days ever since. Finally on the 18th of January 2012 the Princess Tea Party happened. Amelia was escorted into the Make A Wish office by a princess and then was assigned her very own princess escort. The princesses were from the Distinguished Young Women of Utah and were just great to all of the little girls at the Tea Party. They ate treats, danced and got crowns and magic wands. They all had a great time.
We took the whole family because we were told that there was a special announcement for Amelia. These princesses were so fun, they took Cameron around as a prince and he danced and had a good time as well. Eventually, it was time for the special announcement.
Amelia was called up to the stage and was told that her Wish was going to be granted! Not only that, but Walt Disney World had come through and Amelia was going to be allowed to lead the Disney World parade as Rapunzel! If you recall from previous posts, they usually do not do this and even the Make A Wish people were blown away. Needless to say, our whole family is excited.
So now, we make plans and get things ready to go to Florida! There is a lot to do but so worth it. We just keep saying thank you to everyone at Make A Wish, they are truly making dreams come true. More to come as we find out!
