black friday

We braved the crowds for Black Friday. We didn't go out at midnight or anything crazy like that. We just went at around 9am and were home by 1pm including a stop for lunch. The mall was certainly crowded but it really wasn't any worse than your typical Christmas crowd though it was a real pain when you decided to buy something. The lines to check out were how you knew without a doubt that it was Black Friday. Wow.

After a trip to Barnes and some great help from my niece, we were done with our Christmas shopping with very few small exceptions. WOO HOO!!

yum, leftovers....
