Black Friday

Usually I am up before the crack of dawn on Black Friday to go out and get some deals. I am one of 'those people' who love being out in the craziness! We are pretty much finished with our Christmas shopping, though. We were going to head out early to get a special gift for Haley and Brianna that we are contributing to, but we managed to take care of it yesterday, getting part of it at Kmart when we went there early yesterday morning, and we got the big gift online yesterday! So, no freezing cold waiting in line for us today :) Mammaw kept Ethan last night, so we slept in, had breakfast at home, and then headed out with hot chocolate and coffee in hand to see what we could find. I really wanted to get Ethan a Fisher Price Rock and Play Piano. Walmart had it for $15, which seemed like a good price. Well I have never been brave enough to venture to Walmart early on Black Friday, and apparently I don't want to! They were all sold out, and we went to 5 different stores in the area and couldn't find it, so no piano for Ethan. We did, however, find the wagon we were interested in at Walmart in Tri-County that was way cheaper than we had even found it online. We have been looking everywhere for deals on wagons, which never seem to really happen for the Radio Flyer wagons. So that was a very nice surprise! Granny and Grandpa are going to give it to Ethan for his birthday :) We are very excited to have it for the summer! We stopped at Red Robin for Ryan's free birthday burger for lucnh, and our favorite waitress Rachel was there when we walked in the door. It seems like she is there every time we go! She takes great care of us. She asked about Ethan, and we told her he was at grandma's while we ventured out! We were ready to see our little man when we were all finished, so we stopped to pick him up, and then headed home and had some very delicious leftovers for dinner! I think one of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers :)
