Bobo's 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday Raizo!

I haven't been blogging in a while because it was my sons birthday. It was hectic and crazy for a while getting everything we needed for the party but it went smoothly. Well except for the fact that he was clinging on to me about 80% of the time! So this post is going to be quite picture heavy. So lets get started!

I made this watermelon shark STUFFED with a variety of fruits. 

He was quite easy to make and everyone loved it!

Octopus vegetable dip. I made a vegetable dip with sour cream, spinach, and Knorr's vegetable mix. It really hit off well and was basically done by the end of the party.

Best part? Left over vegetables went into my stir fry!

This is the full table with a TON of food. I had enough to feed an army and almost everyone took a huge container of food home.

On this side of the table we have the Ciopinno (seafood soup filled with mussels, squid, shrimp, and scallops), pasta salad with onions, jicama, cherry tomatoes, shrimp, apples, and pasta with italian dressing, the shark fruit bowl, BBQ marinated ribs, and the octopus veggie dip.

On this side of the table we had tequila lime shrimp, fresh salsa with tortilla strips, octopus hot dogs in a blanket, summer rolls that my Uncle made for me which were delicious with a peanut butter sauce, and fried noodles with snow peas and sliced fish. You can also see some of the candy bar.

Here is the candy bar. I have the goody bags/cans in the back filled with a self inflating balloon, two single packs of koolaid, a clapper toy, two bottles of bubbles, a crazy straw, and fruit snacks. The candy bar had twizzlers, jolly rancher sticks, a mix of dark, white, and milk chocolate kit-kats, swedish fish, baby blue metallic sixlets, and a mix of tropical, sour, and original smarties, blue cotton candy lollipops, and jolly rancher lollipops I made with a swedish fish in the middle.

Here are the lollipops I made up close and personal. They were super easy to make and I stuck swedish fish in there to keep with the ocean theme. I am making a video on this so keep an eye out for that. They were really yummy and were a hit with the kids.

Here is me, the birthday boy, my aunt and my uncle. They ADORE Raizo so much!

Here is me, the birthday boy, Roko, Lina, and my mom. The only way he would take a picture is if I put Roko in the picture!

The children of the party. We have my kids cousins who Raizo loves to play with and of course you know who everyone else is!

It was time to blow out his candles and he was just scared because of all the singing he was not used to it. 

Wohoo here he is "blowing" out his candle. I had to do it because he couldn't blow hard enough. I hope his birthday wish came true.

Here are all the kids with the loads of gifts that Bobo got on his birthday. It was a bit overwhelming how much he really got that day. He could not make up his mind on what he wanted to play with first. But then he decided his new car toy with a trailer is the one he had to get crazy with.

I assembled his bike that night and seriously it was the hardest thing to assemble. I even sliced my finger it was so gross. No pain no gain I guess! 

He received a bike, Octonauts play set, LeapPad2, 4 games for the LeapPad, case for the LeapPad, silicone cover for the LeapPad, a dog guitar that is seriously awesome, a truck, t-shirt, a car/truck set with a trailer, a pool, Cars 2 AppMates for the iPad, and money.

He really had a amazing time and he loves playing with everything. His favorite thing to play with is the Octonauts play set that his June baby friend got him. 

Overall all that hard work I put into this party was so worth it all. 

Thank you everyone that came to the party and celebrated his big day.
