Rebekah's Feast...
Here's Bekah, my little flutterbudgetfairydiddle. She has personality by the gallon. She also has "pinkeye." And a dirth of teeth. She has lost 6 teeth in the past month! That's what happens when you are 7 years old. Most of us call her Boo, Joe gets to call her Becky- but nobody else is allowed to do that. He dotes on her. She is always by my side, jabbering away. She loves to color and draw pictures, and play with her "dollies." Cooking is one of her favorite things to do. Boo and Eva are best friends and they do everything together. Preparing a feast without Eva wasn't easy on her- the entire time we were out shopping for her feast Boo is talking a mile a minute about what Eva would like and she even bought Eva a present with her own money. She doesn't like people to stare at her and has been known to burst into tears if they do. She is, just a touch, shy.

My stomach is still aching from her feast. It was sooo good. Perfect for 6 growing young men, but maybe a bit heavy for their old Mom. She had a Xmas theme. Her table was set with blue lights and a stem of a poinsetta with had mysteriously fallen from my plant. I suspect the boys with their Nerf guns. She bought each child a chocolate santy and even put a bow on his head. There were sugar cookies with hot "toto" for an appetizer. Boo served up mashed potatoes with gravy and grilled cheese sandwiches. Joe says, "Wow. Starch city." The guys used their sandwiches as spoons and I tried it and it was really quite tasty that way. She had bug juice to drink- blue koolaid with gummy worms. Her "zert" was strawberry shortcake- thanks to Sara Lee. All in all, it was an incredible feast.

What a little beauty is your flutterbudgedfairydiddle. That is a long title for a little one. Sounds like a pretty cool dinner to me.

Oh I just love it! ... So sweet and child-like. Maybe she isn't too grown up after all. But it's hard NOT to stare at such a beautiful girl :)

Deeee-licious! I always wondered about Sara Lee--does the ad say, "Nobody does it like Sara Lee" or "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee"? In any case, sounds wonderful!

Mmmm. Were the grilled cheeses made with your homebaked bread?!? I'd so be there...starch or not. "Great choice BekahBoo!" And I love the idea of bug juice...super cute! And certainly inspired by being one of two girls in a family of six brothers!

Hope that pinkeye is on its way out. A girl loves pink...but that stuff is just painful!

Love you, sweet friend! (And LOVE the new profile pic!)
