Brittaney's 16th Birthday Present

Sunday evening we decided to give Brittaney her 16th Birthday present early (her birthday isn't until July 3rd). She eats, sleeps, and breathes music and has wanted to go see the Broadway show Wicked. Thanks to some very good friends, they helped me get some cheap tickets so I can take her. Rich and I decided part of the fun is the anticipation and being able to tell your friends. So-we decided to give it to her Sunday. I came up with six words/clues that began with each letter of wicked. We gave a clue to her every 30 minutes. Then once she had all of the clues, she laid them out on the floor and tried to figure it out. Then, the lightbulb clicked on and she figured it out. Excitement is an understatement. She started to cry! I know this means a lot to her! Here are some pictures we captured of the clues and her reaction!
(p.s.-ironically Marci and Bill will be at the same show...YAY!!)

Happy Birthday, Brittaney! We love you!

The Clues:
(I didn't have the letter on her clues, only the words)

W-wear (something nice)
I-Indianapolis
C-conflict
K-karma
E-excited

She is unrolling the clues...

Arranging the clues...

hmmm...

Trying to figure it out...

Tried arranging them differently...

She finally figured it out...

Are you serious? ...yes we are, Brittaney!

Tears of joy!

Literally shouted for joy!
