My sister and I organised the best baby shower for my cousin Béatrice, who is expecting her first child. She didn't want a party, because she thought that it would be too much work, so we kept it a secret until that very day! When she came into her mother's garden, she couldn't believe her eyes! We learned to make macarons, then we got our nails done while drinking virgin mojitos. And of course, we cooed over all the presents while she was opening them!

Clever stuff happening!
