2014 GoDaddy Party

Every year we look forward to the Go Daddy holiday party. And why wouldnt we?! It's on Chase Field- home of the 2001 World Series Champion Diamondbacks, all kinds of entertainment- past entertainers were Sinbad, Ke$ha, Psy (Gangham style guy), the B52's, catered food, prizes- rememebr that time we won $1,000?!! I do..., open bar (for all those Pepsi's we knock back) and a gift at the door- camping chairs, beach towels, things like that. It's a great time!
This year was a little different. 

Saturday I did some shopping and then started getting ready. LOVE Jamberry nails!!! 


Just like prom getting all dressed up! I love this part!! 



Everyone wanted in on a picture, even Louie who looks like he wants to eat Lucas. 


Party time! 


This years party was kind of disappointing. And I feel kind of spoiled saying that, but it's because I know how good it has been in the past that I feel that way. 

Lets start with decorations.
 Years past have had themes and we've had an ice skating rink, a ferris wheel, carousel, eiffel tower, paparazzi and this year we had 2 big lights. Thats it.
Food.
We use to have a big catered meal with carved meats and such. This year we had finger foods like empenadas, tacos, nachos. And for dessert there wasn't choices and fun things, there were prepackaged brownies. Thats it. And the 3 bar areas they had in the past was now 1 bar where we waited in line for 30 minutes for a bottle of water. 
Prizes.
They always bragged about how much money they give out to their employees. This year they bragged about how much money they give to charity- $1 million every 10 days and then they gave away 3 cars, 2 motorcycles and about 50 people won prizes like a watch, gopro, iphone, tv. And thats it. No money giveaways.
Entertainment.
 Eliana Elias. Who??? Daddy Yankee. Who???  And PitBull who looks like Gru from Dispicable me and Dr. Evil had a baby. 


Patrick got really into it as you can tell. 

Ok just kidding, I just caught him yawning. 





By the end of the night we (i mean me) were tired! Guess I could have used a few more Pepsi's but I didn't want to wait in line for another 30 minutes.



And then we left looking for our gift they give out at the door.
Only there wasn't anything.
How do you have all those employees you credit for your success and then not even give them even a thank you card?!?
Disappointing night. 
Guess we are just spoiled! 
At least we looked good and enjoyed the time we had with each other!
