Family Christmas Photos

Marketstar brought in a photographer and did free family photos with Santa this year. Other than Ladybug's hair looking like her finger got put in a light socket I think they turned out great. Much better than the ones I tried to take when we took the kids to Christmas Village. We even got Cincess to smile. She was not pleased with having to be that close to Santa. However, once I told her she could have a candy cane if she smiled she threw on a cheeser. Thank you Cincess!
Chub was also pretty good for the photos, although I will admit I think it had to do with the stern warning I gave him on the way into Ogden that "he had better smile or there would be consequences!" What is it with getting kids to behave for photos?

There was no way Cincess was gonna get that close to Santa again, so we had to opt for just the older three.

This one of Tiny Man and Santa is much better than the one I took. It was all blurry and his eyes were closed. For good measure he ran back and gave Santa another hug before we headed home. He must REALLY want that ipod!

Jazz vs. Lakers MarketStar Style

Nate and I had the great fortune to go to the Jazz vs Lakers game with a group from MarketStar. Talk about rolling out the red carpet and treating you like royalty. I have decided that this is the only way to go when going to see the Jazz play! We all met at MarketStar and literally took a convoy down! They got three Hummer limos for all 42 of us to fit in! I personally had never been in a limo before and I am sure there is a great difference between a Hummer limo and a traditional limo....atleast I hope so! If not....I will opt out of limo riding. We decided the limo company's initials (V.I.P. limo) stood for Vomit Induced Passengers. We weren't even 3 blocks from MarketStar when passengers in another hummer limo got violently ill from motion sickness! A few of us in our limo dealt with a little nausea ourselves but we prevailed. There is something about riding sideways watching the world go by while in a humid, uncomfortable, loud hummer limo. Quite the experience!

Once we got to the Energy Solutions Arena we were taken down to the court to watch the Jazz players pre-game warm up. Then we were taken to a private corporate suite where we would be enjoying the game. It was AWESOME!

This is a picture of our suite. I am telling you this is the ONLY way to go! Private bathrooms AND food at your fingertips! MarketStar had Bajio cater for us. There was so much food! By the end I felt like I had just had Thanksgiving dinner all over again!

The night was made even better when the Jazz won!

On the way home we decided not to chance it and sit forward facing in the back! MUCH better!

THANKS MARKETSTAR! We had an amazing time!
