It seems I am always a week behind, but I wanted to write all about my Thanksgiving weekend adventures. This is the very first year that I have ever gone "Black Friday" shopping. My friend Emily convinced me to go out with her early, early in the morning. I got out of bed at 2:40am in order to meet her at her house by 3:45. (She lives 20 minutes-ish away.) That gave me enough time to shower and feel like a real person before leaving home. The plan was to get to the outlet mall at 4 am, between the midnight rush and the morning rush. It worked like a charm. There were people, but not the mobs of people you typically hear about on "Black Friday". There were good sales and I would definitely do it again next year. We hit Old Navy first, before I made the rounds to the little kid clothing stores. I was able to get Josh several things he needed and even a few things for myself (and Adam too). The excitement of going out early, in the dark, to go Christmas shopping was the most fun. Made me feel young and rambunctious again. :) Too bad I didn't get a photo with me in it. Then again, maybe it's better that way...

Midmorning Madness?

Is that Carissa back there too? You are still a young and rambunctious group and that is why you leave your warm bed to brave the early morning shopping hours. Young and brave, not to mention rambunctious.
Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed my warm bed until about 9:00 that morning. You're young and rambunctious I'm old and tired. :)
It's Katelyn. She joined us at about 4:30. I don't feel young and rambunctious. I feel like an old bump on a log.
Umm....you ARE young and rambunctious!
