OK, now that I have that out, I've been dying to tell you about our experience at Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

During the holiday break, the staff of Gabbafriends.com all attended Yo Gabba Gabba Live in Los Angeles! The best part of the experience is meeting new friends! I have to give a shout out to the great family we sat next to, our Gabba Friends, EST 1996!

Our friends sent us these wonderful pictures of their son's first birthday!

Here's what they have to say:

"Hi Yo gabba gabba friends, this is Davi Lucas's 1st birthday.
He loves Yo Gabba Gabba and this b-day was a special moment for us.
We are a Brazilian family and we live in Mount Vernon, New York.

Thanks Gabbafriends, we love you!"

Our friends the Hernandez-Diaz Family sent in this rad pic of their daughters' room!

This is Marci,our 3 year old. When I asked what she wanted to be for Halloween I expected her to ask to be ballerina again or something like a princess. But to our wonderful surprise she wanted to be an Aquabat or as she calls them "Hockwabots" after some serious online research and overcoming difficulties finding a blue rashguard for a tiny 3 year old, my wife did an awesome job with the shirt and I made the power belt it came along beautifully. She loved it almost as much as we did!

I put two videos up on YouTube recently.

The first is of my grandson dancing to the wiggles - until he spotted me.

The second is of my granddaughter Dancing to YGG. She had just turned 1 in February 2010 when I filmed this.

It's that time of the week for the Yo Gabba Gabba Cake Sunday Showcase, where we like to present to you our favorite Yo Gabba Gabba cake finds!

Deondre had a Gabba Halloween birthday party this year, and his mom, Erin, commissioned Torrance Bakery in Torrance, CA to make this stunning Cowboy Muno Halloween cake!

I just bought a new Brobee hinge wallet from Spencers at our local mall. They said they just got them in and expect more every week. It is green, with his face on it and is kinda fuzzy but super cute!

Exciting news for Gabba Friends everywhere! Ty's Toy Box recently released some of the Yo Gabba Gabba Live Official Merchandise, originally sold at the live shows! This is perfect for those who either didn't have the opportunity to attend the live show, or for those who went to the show, but did not have the chance to visit the merch tables!

We're sure there will be more official tour merch to come. In the meantime, check out our preview of the available merchandise below!

Stay tuned to our Gabbafriends Merchandise Guide for the most detailed, up-to-date list of available Yo Gabba Gabba merchandise!

Hi! Here is the Foofa Gabbalantern that I made for my daughter this past Halloween (template from Nick Jr. website)....she LOOOOOVED it!!

Thanks!

Jheyl recently celebrated his first birthday party, and his mom made some really amazing crafts and decorations! Thanks, April, for sharing your great ideas with us!!

Jyehl sported a handmade Muno bib!

My son Sid's 3rd day was Gabba themed. Everyone loved the party and I totally enjoyed making decorations and things! Here are a few of my ideas!

I made the pinata, popcorn holders and birthday cake.

For those of you living in or around Citrus Heights, CA, you won't want to miss out on this special Vans and Yo Gabba Gabba meet and greet! You will have the opportunity to not only meet Brobee, Foofa, and Plex, but there will be tons of giveaways! If you are planning on going, please do arrive early! There is limited space, and these Yo Gabba Gabba events really do fill up fast!

Ladies attending Yo Gabba Gabba Live, take note! Painting your nails is a very cute and clever way of getting ready for the live show!

This great nail art was done by Julie Figueras, and was sent to us by her friend Jarond, as they get ready for Saturday's Yo Gabba Gabba Live in San Francisco! If you spot Julie and her cute nails, please give her a high five from us!

Hello friends!

YGG Live had a party in our city, Denver, on 11-7-2010! We purchased three VIP tix and happened to get front row center! The show was absolutely AH-MAZ-ING! Our DD's fave part was between Brobee flying and the bubbles! We dancey-danced the night away! After the show we had a chance to get our picture taken with the Gabba Gang, DJ Lance and Biz Markie! We had such a great time and wish we could do it again! Here's some pics from our show! Enjoy!

Kathleen made a GREAT Super Martian Robot Girl costume for her daughter, Toni, to wear on Halloween! Toni loved her costume; these pictures are evidence of how much she loved it!
