This isn't the first time Obama has made a wish come true. Back in October, he welcomed Janiya Penny, an 8-year-old girl suffering from sickle cell anemia and the president's "number one fan" to the White House.

Another White House snapshot from June 2011 captured Obama fist-pumping Make-A-Wish recipient Diego Diaz in the Oval Office, after reading a letter the young boy wrote to the president.
