The balloons are navy blue and orange, with white ribbons. That is what you asked. I assume it is because that is colors of the Denver Broncos. You liked that team and wore the jersey I gave you.
Remember when you were little and you would say, "I love you all the way to Mexico!" Mexico seemed like the absolute farthest place to you!
Well, Austin, I love you all the way to Mexico!
