The BIG Reveal!

Unfortunately, due to rainy weather, we had to cancel the big party.

It's hard to fit 100 people inside our house in the event that it continued to rain.

So at 11 AM, we made the call to cancel, but our family still came on over.

She had waited patiently, KNOWING a house was being built for her

and there was NO WAY rainy weather was going to stop us from letting her see it.

 My sister and her family.

 My nieces and nephews.

Aunt and Uncle weren't able to attend due to a medical emergency.

But all is fine now, so for that we are grateful.

They were there in spirit though!

 The proud grandparents.

And the Proud Papa.

I wheeled her down the super awesome ramp to see her Clubhouse for the very first time.

I think she kinda likes it, don't you?

On a precious side note, as she came down the ramp, her sisters and cousins shouted,

"PRINCESS CELIA"

Be. Still. My. Heart.

The builder presented her with a pink princess key.

"Hey, look- I gotta key! Let's see my new digs!"

 A pink kitchen.

Magnets and chalk might be her new favorite things to do.

 Our daughter in law painted this beautiful sign for her.

Isn't it gorgeous?

 A window seat stuffed with bins of toys.

She got a " Deed of Ownership"

Pearl necklaces for all the girls.

A Make-A-Wish Barbie.

And a t-shirt.

And the castle wall decorations of course.

All from MakeAWish.

Here my girl is, living out her dream.

Her wish was to be able to play outside with her sisters.

She got that in SPADES.

The words, "THANK YOU" to Make A Wish could never be adequate.

Our little girl's dreams were made a reality.

SO. VERY. GRATEFUL.
