Black Friday

Black Friday is my favorite day of the year. Keeping with tradition, my sisters and I hit the stores early on Friday morning in search of bargains. Things were a little different this year since a lot of the stores opened on Thanksgiving Day. Because of this, it seemed like there were a lot more people out. We weren't about to pull an all-nighter, so we began early on Friday. This picture of us was actually taken at about 3:45 am- right before all of the fun began. I love shopping on Black Friday because I have so much fun with my sisters. I also like all of the sales. The biggest deal that I found this year was at the Polo outlet. I got Ralph Lauren (Polo) towels regularly $26 each on sale for less than $4. Wow!
The kids have also come to love Black Friday because they get to spend the night with Granny Mel. I think the only person who probably doesn't like Black Friday is poor Brian. As you can probably imagine, Toys R Us turns into a war zone on this day...and as the manager, Brian has to tough it out all day. This year Toys R Us opened at 10pm on Thursday. Brian was at work from 7:45pm on Thursday until 3pm on Friday. That's about 19 hours straight at the busiest place in town. Ouch. At the end of the day, they literally had to put him in a buggy and wheel him out to his car.
