On Friday we gave a baby shower for my team teacher Melissa at work. We were supposed to have given her the shower back in January before Lauren was born, but then Melissa got put on bedrest, so we put off the shower until Melissa returned to work. Unfortunately I did not get to be in the planning meeting because Alex had her 18 month checkup that morning. I originally wanted the colors to be pink & brown, the colors of Melissa's nursery. But Martha Stewart (Tammie) and her assistant had a better idea. I'm so glad that they got their way. Here was the centerpiece for each table. We used those chocolate robin's eggs inside a grapevine wreath.
The cake was a whole other story. Chelsea had ordered the cake from Costco. We thought it would have little pink roses around the borders and some more colored borders drawn around it. Plus we certainly did NOT pick fluorescent pink for the border and kelly green for the writing. Luckily I work with the modern day Miss Frizzle who is also Martha Stewart on the side. So Chelsea called Tammie on Thursday night and told her to bring her cake decorating stuff as well. 
15 minutes before the shower starts....

Voila! A Masterpiece!
