Afton is our Juliet - Gnomeo and Juliet 4th Birthday

Last year I asked my girl what kind of birthday party she wanted. Her response was, "Something that is pretty. And of course, red and blue, since those are my favorite colors." We had just watched Gnomeo and Juliet a few weeks earlier with Grandma Jones so ideas began to pop in my head. It was perfect. That was what her 3rd birthday party would be. While I was writing addresses on invitations, I had one of those moments... like "AAAAHHHHHH!" Not the AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH that is a scream, but more like an epiphany kind where "angels" sing. I had to change my girls plans for her birthday party because it was only once in her life where we could party under this motto... "Help AFTON get her THREE ON in NEON!" 

SO, needles to say, I saved all of the gnome decorations that I ordered at Oriental Trading until this year. And I think it was a hit.
