YO GABBA GABBA PARTY SPECTACULAR!!

There was a party, party in our neighborhood last weekend! Our little Sofia turned 2 years old! This year we decided to make our little girl the happiest girl in town and throw her a birthday bash she would LOVE and one that she would recognize…Yo Gabba Gabba style! Yo Gabba Gabba is one of her favorite shows and she’s been a fan for some time! Nick and I ordered and to be quite honest, where AMAZED at the price of Yo Gabba Gabba party decorations! We bought all the yummy food and came up with a menu that would not only please the adults but satisfy the little ones too!

Our good friends, Eddie and Bianca drove all the way from California just for the big party. One of their gifts for Sofia was a piƱata they picked up just for her! Sofia LOVED IT!



We chopped, peeled, cooked and prepped for the party all night! Thanks to Bianca for helping out in the kitchen while all guys put together Sofia’s birthday present.





The big day of the party, the cake was done and the presents were wrapped. He all headed over to the park and began to decorate in the bright and vivid Gabba Colors. Sofia’s Uncle Bryan painted a terrific mural with all the Gabba characters. It turned out so great!
Thanks again Bryan!

Nick made this whole party happen! Thanks sweetie for being such a great Daddy!
We had a professional "Grill Master" manning the BBQ- On the menu, hotdogs with all the fixin's...chili & cheese or sauerkraut and spicy mustard. The food turned out FABULOUS as well as the appetizers!
As one of Sofia's birthday presents, we decided to rent her a giant jump house.  This was only the second time Sofie had ever been in one of these...she LOVED IT!  Here is Sofie's Nonnie, helping her into the jumper.


Sofie has such a great time being the "birthday girl"!

 
Along with jump houses and playing on the playground, we had a designated art table.  We had tons of paints, Playdough, crayons, chalk...the kids loved it and had such a great time being creative. 

This is one of Sofia's favorite things to do!!

After the kids were done with the arts and crafts- it was PINATA TIME!!
Here is Sofia's Papa and Ba-Pa getting the Pinata ready-

Here is Nick trying to teach her what to do.
GO SOFIE GO!!!
Here is Sofie handing off the stick to her cousin, Arianna-
Here is Zoe taking a whack at Tootie-
And then once all the kids had a chance to hit Tootie (which was a little weird smacking one of the characters Sofie loves so much...) the candy flooded the playground!

Even some of the adults wanted to get their portions of candy!
This is what was left of Tootie-

YAY!! Present time! Thanks for all the great gifts everyone! Sofie loved everything!
I think Sofie was more interested in the wrapping paper~

Sofia's favorite gift of the day- was the one her Daddy bought for her! She loves riding her bike!

After presents, it was cake time! I made my signature chocolate cake with passion fruit filling and classic buttercream! IT WAS A HIT!!

After all the birthday festivities were over it was time to get back into the jumper...

Here is Nonnie and Ba-Pa-
Here is Nanna and Papa with Uncle Ryan

Over all the day turned out PERFECT! Nick and I can't wait to start planning next years!
