On Friday night, Elevation had a family event called "Gnoming the Streets". Over 500 people/children who participate in E-Kidz came out to find 25 garden gnomes hidden throughout the Blakeney Shopping Center and, if they were lucky, to find the "Golden Gnome" (aka my very own Seanie) who may or may not be convinced to give away a "golden ticket" (aka raffle ticket).
Afterwards, the movie "Gnomeo an Juliet" was played in the Elevation Blakeney auditorium, and children were treated to candy, drinks, and popcorn...just like a movie theater :) Except for free. E-Kidz staff did an AMAZING job decorating the atrium like a magic forest, and I was more than impressed.
My handsome husband in his gnome gear. I think the fame went to his head because it was like pulling teeth to get him to take off that outfit and go home :) "I think I'll just stay in it for the rest of the movie, ya know, so I can take pictures with the kids when they come out of the theater". I think he's going to be a stellar dad one day.
Tons and tons of candy. I'm going to say that I'm glad that none of these kids came home with me post-sugar hype.
Tons and tons of popcorn that poor Courtney Watson and company spent a solid 3 hours popping and packing.
The prize for the raffle winner
Donated cupcakes from Sas Cupcakes, which looked GREAT.

That is awesome. :) Wish I'd been there!
