Yay for Black Friday!!!

I can't even explain how much I loved shopping on Black Friday this year! My Cousins and Aunts made it so much fun and I love spending time with them on this day! This year was extra special because it was the first year that we had shirts made for our speical day. My cousin Kim designed shirts for us to wear. The front said "A Pease Tradition since 1984," and the back said "We'll shop until YOU Drop!" I'll have to admit that we looked awesome! We were the best dressed family in T-shirts and jeans that were out shopping that day!

I woke up around 3am, got ready and picked up my sister by 3:45am to meet my cousins at 4am. We went to Walmart first and waited in line for a short time when we realized that there was no way we'd bet the deals because there were just too many people. We went to target next, which opened at 6am, and we were towards the front of the line. Once we got through the doors, my sister, my cousins and I all ran to the toy and electronic section to get the good deals! All of us made out really well saving a bundle of money!!!

We went to Toys R Us, the Marley Station Mall, Walgreens, Michaels, Marshalls, and Kohls. In between shopping at these stores, we met my Nanny for lunch at the Olive Tree and we went to Happy Hour at Glory Days and Bill Batemans. We had a blast! I ended up getting home around 10:30pm, which totals about 18 hours of shopping! It was such a fun, but exhausting day!

I saved a ton of money and I had a FABULOUS time with my family, which made shopping in the craziness of Black Friday all worth it!
