Yo Gabba Gabba Inspired 3rd Birthday Party


Between my friends and I there are 10 kids, i think maybe a little more, so you can image how many parties we go to in a year. It seems like we go to at least 1 party a month not including families...


AS we walked up we were greeted by this personalized Yo Gabba Gabba sign complete with a picture of the birthday girl. What i can't get over is besides the party starting on time, everything was set up and ready to go hours before the party started, one day I want to be just like "Mrs. B"

Tye's All Star Sports.... First Birthday party

So as ya'll know from my previous few post, I love parties.... its a head to head match between parties pictures and hair, (I may like parties a little better)

so no further adieu

Photos from Tye's first Birthday

so this party was way before i had a digital camera, so over the course of a couple of months I stocked up on disposable camera and had them on every table with a little note to take a picture and pass it, so i have lots of great pictures that others took.

I think i could safely say that planning this party has got me hooked on the process of party planning.

I decided on the sports theme by finding all of the party stuff on clearance at Party City, so i think i spent about 13 dollars on table cloths decorations etc and had enough to spare

I think my favorite decoration at parties has to be pictures of the celebrant. If you look at the picture you can see sports themed frames with pictures of Tye. I had a couple of games for the kids and adults and the adult winners won pictures of Tye

We had lots of balloons everywhere.

One of Tye's godmothers got helium tanks from Websters in altadena, and we used them to fill up all of the balloons. and if you look closely you can see one of the cameras... :o)



Tye and my Little Cousin D, well she's a young lady now, got to love those dimples.
