Anyone Can Cook is the theme of Pixar's movie Ratatouille, but No-one is as cute of a rat as our Wendy. Likewise, No-one can sew an amazing Remy costume from scratch (without a pattern) like Reesa can. Simply looking online at a sleeper tutorial for reference, she constructed the body and added mittens, a tail and contrasting fabric on the belly. The cap was made with the help of a bonnet pattern which wouldn't be complete with a pair of pink ears. We collaborated in regards to construction and size/shape. Reesa just whipped up this adorable costume for Wendy, which everyone at our ward party was shocked to find was handmade. In addition Reesa sewed our matching chef houndstooth pants.
We had a myriad of ideas for this year. Many seemed better suited for a larger cast while others were not as Wendy-focused as we'd like. This became the perfect fit for our family of three. And who doesn't want to see Wendy in a little rat costume? Just look at those whiskers and pink nose. Although a bit sleep-deprived, our Little Chef was such a trooper during the photo shoot taken on location at Communal and the alley near Los Hermanos.
We LOVE this family tradition. It is so fun to see the unity of individual families as well as the whole Cornwall clan.
