Black Friday

Well, it is NOT a tradition at my house to do Black Friday shopping...but I'm contemplating making it one of ours. I am still undecided as to whether it is just crazy or totally worth it...much to Heather's dismay I wanted to give it a shot this year (last year I only hit up Kohls at I think 3 or 4 AM), and being the good sister she is, she went with me to stand in many, many long lines. We actually started our shopping on Thursday night, amazed to see that Toys R Us was going to open at 10 PM and then planned to hit up Old Navy at midnight...and then head home for a nap before hitting up some more stores around 6...we quickly had a change of plans upon driving up to Toys R Us. :) The line wrapped around the entire strip mall and back behind it. It was unbelievable and if we had our camera, would have video taped it...needless to say we decided against going there and headed to the mall early to see what the line for Old Navy looked like around 11 pm. Thankfully, it was not too bad so we stood outside there for about 45 minutes, then got into the mall to wait another 30 or so, only to shop quickly and stand in line to check out at least another hour to hour and a half...we were not the only nutsos that is for sure! By the time we got home we were exhausted and gave up on hitting up the other stores...but then once rejuvenated by sleep we decided to head out for more bargains. So thankful to have company in line! Brad was such a good sport and kept the kiddos for us. We'll see what next Black Friday brings. :)
