There's No Place Like NYC

Shhh!

TBC thinks she's going to the orthodontist this morning, but actually, she's going to an early morning surprise party (bagels!) and then to NYC with her mother to see Wicked. This is the child who regularly wore ruby slippers to preschool and was transformed into Dorothy for multiple Halloweens. The super fun M. found cheap adult sized ruby slippers yesterday and - perhaps, even as you read this - she will enter Einstein's Tuesday morning, discover a table full of friends in there, open a single present, and - tah dah - find ruby slippers with tickets inside.

I love surprises. Sometimes.

Wicked has profound spiritual ramifications, but that's another blog. For now, we will be dancing through life - at least until Thursday.

You rock! What an AWESOME surprise! Can't wait to hear all about it...

We (meaning my daughters and I) love every inch of Wicked - haven't yet seen the show, but we know the soundtrack by heart. Someday....

Enjoy!

Very cool. Can't believe that the first grader who went to school with a red beret on and called herself "Holiday Monica" is now 16 - can it be possible? I remember the Dorothy costumes! Have a great time on your trip - can't wait to hear about it. I really want to see Wicked.
