Ellen Show ... Again!


I know, don't be mad but I got to go to the Ellen Show again with my friend, Danielle.  Remember how we didn't get our high chair from the Mother's Day show?  Well the staff called and offered us a ticket to a Christmas Giveaway show to make up for it - yes, please!

We attended the taping on Monday and it aired on Tuesday - it was day 4 of her giveaways.  And it was amazing and well worth the 6 hour drive, and Brandon working all weekend so he could take work off Monday so that he could help with the kids so I could go (awesome run on sentence if I might say so myself).  On our show, she also played a game with three audience members and the winner won a car (the winner was a SLC mom).  Very exciting!

On top of all this, we also got great seats and you can see us on TV, kinda fun.  On the video below, we're at the 5:10 mark and again at the 7:15 mark.  Giveaways start at 3:30 if you want to see them.

We got a Wii video gaming system, a Google Chrome Notebook, and $1500 Target Giftcard - incredible!

Also, they needed us to be the audience for an extra segment, so we waited while Tony & Ellen changed clothes, then she interviewed Lady Gaga & then she performed a song.  This portion will air on Friday.  Although I'm not a huge Lady Gaga fan, but I thought it was interesting.  While Lady G was warming up, Ellen just stayed out and chatted with the audience - she's such a generous person and I love all that she does with her celebrity status and seems to always be helping others around her.  And as a bonus, she'ss also funny.
