The dining room table was decorated for Denver's birthday. Purple balloons and pink streamers hung over the table. The table itself was decorated in a 'sweet 16" theme. This was the table before folks sat down to celebrate.

Denver was amazed that Oliver allowed her to put a pink tiara on his head.

The cake after it had been served. It was mostly gone. But this view revealed that the cake below the frosting was a mixture of chocolate and white cakes.

That same decorated table, but viewed after the party had happened. One end of the table was a mess. It was covered in bananas, croutons, spent paper plates, and an abandoned ice cream lid.
