Family Friday

Don't kid yourself.  You know what this post is REALLY called...BLACK FRIDAY!  There were 5 of us this year: Lane, Lene, Deanna, Tonya and myself, and we had a BLAST!  This was the smoothest, most organized Black Friday shopping experience I do believe I have ever participated it.  Thursday morning I made the tags for the kids to draw names with for Christmas (more on that later) and a Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving Dinner at Scott and Callie's.  After a completely filling and outrageously wonderful dinner, I kissed my little one bye and headed to Lane's. 

We were at Target at 7pm for a midnight opening.  (I know, I know.  We're crazy!  But it was so much FUN!)  There were nice people we were in line with, CRAZY outfits, a man peeing on a tree in the parking lot, line jumpers...you name it, we probably saw it.  And if you can burn calories from laughing, I think I burned off all the calories I had eaten earlier in the day.  Plus, we were in and out of Target, with ALL the things we were there for, in 30 MINUTES! 

 Then on to Toys-R-Us (which had a line that wrapped around the builing by the time they finally opened) to get a most of the things we were after (we didnt feel like waiting around for the 5 o'clock deals when it was only 12:30) and we were in the van again.  In and out of Target and Toys-R-Us in LESS THAN an hour!  SUCCESS!!

Home for a little nap, then I texted Mom, "Want to go see what is left at Wal-Mart?"  I know.  I'm nuts, but I really just needed a new toaster oven since I figured out that just because it says "oven" cleaner, that does not include toaster ovens.

Lunch with Dad and Ashton at McDonald's and now we are home.

What are our Big Plans for the rest of today?  I will be replacing my old toaster oven with my new one, cleaning the kitchen from the Thanksgiving Day cooking, and tonight is pizza and Cars 2.

Can't wait!
