For those of you who have never seen Yo Gabba Gabba, it's a children's show (created by the singer from the Aquabats) about a group of toys who are brought to life by a skinny, dancing (and apparently magic) DJ, and who sing lots of songs about proper childhood etiquette (ie. don't bite your friends, being different is ok, eat your green beans and carrots, try new things-you might like it, etc.)
Admittedly, it's a weird show, but Evie is OBSESSED, haha! We first saw it, kind of by accident, not long after she turned one, and she's been hooked ever since! I personally think it has some of the best music in a kid show that I've ever heard, so it's definitely grown on me ;)

Evie has a valentine with her favorite character on it that she keeps in her purse (Plex, the magic robot). Karl calls him her boyfriend ;) The other day we were at target buying a wedding gift for one of my friends, and we happened to find a size 24 month Yo Gabba Gabba Jacket in the clearance section, and Evie just loved it. I let her put it on (it's pretty big on her) and she wouldn't take it off. The cashier had to scan the tag while it was attached to Evie! She got up this morning and one of the first things she asked for was her "gabba gabba shirt", and then she ran around the house looking for it, found it, and had to wear it over her sleeper. It was super cute. She also likes to look at it kind of like a poster and point out all the characters. She's so funny!
Anyway, tonight we went to Evie's (well... technically MY) cousin's 1st birthday party, and much to our collective delight, it was a Yo Gabba Gabba party!!! Best night ever! Evie just happened to have her Gabba Gabba jacket (since she always has it, lol) and she even got a cute "Foofa" hat to wear (another thing we couldn't get her to take off all night!) They also had an awesome homemade pinata that had Brobee and Plex on it (Evie's two favorite characters) and she could not stop looking at it. She kept running over and saying "Brobee! Pex!! Brobee! Pex!" over and over again.

On top of it all, they had cupcakes with delicious frosting that mommy let her smear all over her face... I mean, eat. haha! All in all, it's been an exciting day for my little Gabba Gabba Girl! Oh, and I should mention, happy 1st birthday to Rudy! Your momma throws a rockin' party ;) I can't believe it's already been a year, he's growing up quick!!
