CHLOE'S BIG BIRTHDAY BASH!!!

Okay, the post that I'm sure you all been waiting for is FINALLY here! :) Chloe's birthday party, thrown by her awesome avos, was SO MUCH FUN!!! So much preparation went into this big bash! So much thanks goes out to Deocles and Evelina for scouting out the perfect place; to Evelina, Rubia, Biana (and everyone else) who made the table decorations and party favors; to Rachel for making the beautiful video (and I think Moroni helped too!); to Pedro for taking care of Chloe all week while I was sick and couldn't really help with much; and to all others who helped make this fantastic party happen. We'd also like to thank all the family and friends who came to the party and made it so special for us and Chloe! We are so grateful and will miss you all so much. I would personally like to thank Evelina for coming up with all the ideas for the party and for finding the amazing and adoreable Tinkerbell outfit for Chloe and for basically making everything party-related possible. You are truly an amazing woman, and I look up to you so much!
We had Chloe's party at a place called "Planeta A." It is this HUGE place with carnaval rides, a playplace for kids, video games, a dance floor, a kitchen that makes all the food for the party, waiters, bathroom facilities, a "quiet room" for babies, and lots of other awesome features. This place had something for EVERYONE, and I think all the partygoers really enjoyed themselves! There was great food, fun, music, and lots of activities.
Chloe's reaction to everything was priceless. :) She smiled a lot and especially adored the big ball decorations hanging from the ceiling--she screamed and squealed at them many times throughout the night. She played on the the kiddy toys for a little bit and rode the pirate ship with Vovo. One of the best parts of the night was when Pedro, Chloe, and I got into the "Maquina de Parabens" ("Happy Birthday machine"). I'm going to try to upload a video of it--it was this big platform with lights and smoke and everything, and after everyone counted down from 10, we swung around from the other side, and everyone started singing Happy Birthday and clapping and such. So awesome! :) Chloe cried, of course, haha...but it was so great.
Toward the end of the party, Evelina handed out funny glasses, hats and tiaras to everyone, and we all danced around and took lots of crazy pictures. The party was seriously a blast, and I just want to thank everyone once again for everything!!! We hope that next year we can throw another great party, and maybe even Chloe's vovos will be able to be there!!!!
