Lighting Luminary

Every year, our community chooses a deserving family to light the community Christmas tree and ring in the start of the holiday season.  We were moved to tears upon finding out that our Little Buddy had been nominated and chosen for this honor of being the Lighting Luminary!  What a beautiful way to bring joy to our little guy's life while also honoring our mission of spreading awareness!

That's the tree Little Buddy gets to light!

We found Anna and Elsa as we were heading up the Lighting Luminary reception!

Getting all our instructions to light the tree!

Hanging with Ms. M, his buddy E, Uncle C, Aunt A, Aunt S, Uncle M, and Baby L before the magic starts!

     

Little Buddy LOVED being pulled in by the horse drawn carriage!

     

Heading up to the stage!

Being introduced!

Momma starts telling people about Sanfilippo Syndrome.

     

     

Getting a little nervous with the big crowd...

...so Daddy calms him with a book!

So thankful for all the beautiful gifts Market Street provided for our family!

     

     

     

Know what this kid is ready to do?  Push that BUTTON!

He's ready...

"Yeah, hi guys.  Can't talk.  Getting ready to push this cool button if they ever let me!"

"Now?"  

Here...

...we...

...GO!

Amazed by all the lights, music, and snow!

     

Your tree is beautiful, Will!

A beautiful memory for our beautiful boy.  It will be cherished forever.  

Pictures with some of the amazing people who pull this wonderful event off!

     

Pictures in front of Will's tree!

We even got to see our Sanfilippo buddy, G, afterwards!

There's our little superstar on the news, making his teachers cry and changing the world!

And now off to bed, we're headed to Minnesota in the moaning for the end of Phase I!

Good night, 

LBM
