Black Friday...

My mom has NEVER been shopping on Black Friday. We usually shop on Black Friday, but we wait until 11 or 12 to get started...so this was her first year getting up before the sun to brave the crowds...oh, and we brought Faith along too...

3:24 am--we were up and getting ready...we left Faith in her pj's until breakfast

4:20 am--our first stop was Wal-mart...which was much better than our strategy last year of hanging out at K-Mart in the cold before they opened. They usually have all of the "blitz" items on palettes wrapped in brown paper, but this year they had it all unwrapped and were announcing over the store to not put anything into your cart until 5a. Well...at 4:40 everyone else was putting stuff in their carts so we joined in.

5:17 am--we were done at Wal-mart and headed to Shopko. Shopko took forever...they had the WORST check out lines...they had you wrap around through the aisles just to get to a check stand. When we walked in we sent Justin and Faith to stand in line and mom and I went to get what we were looking for. Justin's mom and sisters were at Shopko while we were there and Justin saved them a space in line as well, after mom and I checked out, we took Netta and Jeannie to Kmart while Justin stayed behind at Shopko with Janeen.

6:11 am--Mom, Faith and I were hanging out at Kmart waiting for Justin, they didn't have the toys I was looking for there, they sold out quickly...but we were waiting for Justin to check out a Christmas Tree. Here's Faith at her third stop...

While we were waiting in line at Kmart Faith fell asleep.

7:10am--After Kmart we decided it was time for breakfast and stopped at Sherri's luckily for us Faith slept through the entire breakfast!

8:00--After breakfast we changed Faith into some real clothes and headed to the mall next for Macy's, Joann's and Steve and Barry's. We took a cart from Burlington to push Faith around...she loved hanging out in the basket instead of the seat.

9:30--off to Fred Meyer...where Justin forgot his phone in the car and him and Faith got separated from Mom and I so when he ran into our friend Robin he borrowed her phone to find out where we were.

10:00--back to Macy's to pick up something we forgot the first time!

10:30--Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and finally Michael's.

Faith was amazing through the whole thing! She was the best little shopper I've ever shopped with!!
