Sara, Elena and I had so much fun decorating the things until late on Friday night.

But they really did turn out adorable. Somehow my fro and my comb-over made it in the same box. Can you find them?   I won't say the shower went off without a hitch on Saturday, there was enough of a hiccup that Sara, LaHonda, and I...
