Cynthia and Pete showed up on Wednesday, and while we were at a ballet dress rehearsal, they sneakily went off to the grocery store and made us dinner. The next day, the preparations
started. You'll notice that while the two pregnant
women slaved away 
, yours truly was taking pictures.
Nevertheless, the results were very tasty, and at times quite
stunning.
Corwin helped set
the table, and we managed to pause long enough for a photo 
before diving in.
