First, Elisa roasted a carrot over a candle for Dustin
(he would have done it first, fire is his fav)
Then we thought about you Dustin, as we ate ice-cream & chocolate!
Boy, he would have enjoyed this!
Then the best part of all, a trip down memory book lane!
Are you ready Dustin?
It all started with Elisa finding a family favorite picture book
while she was at the library.
(hey, what was she doing in the picture book section,
I thought she was researching an essay!)
Elisa thought that we could read it together on our planned family night,
mom loved the idea!
So, Dan using his literary voice to capture the essence of this tongue twisting tale, spun us back down memory book lane once more.
Dustin, I'm sure you remember this rhythmical name,
"Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo" which according to the book is a Chinese name which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world!"
The book title is "Tikki Tikki Tembo" by Arlene Mosel

Good book, good food, good times...
You guys are far too kind, I don't deserve you all for a family. It was almost like I was there!
I've never heard Tiki Tiki Tembo before this family night. It was good to be part of Zupancic family "history". Who knows, perhaps we'll read it to our kids when they come?? No, that is not a hint! Ha!
