Christmas doesn't officially start for me until Black Friday.
4:15 am: Kate and I arrive at Kohl's.
4:30 am: We leave Kohl's because we REFUSE to wait in a 2 hour line to buy 2 things.
6:30 am: Bought out Old Navy and was frightened away from Toy's R Us.
7:00 am: Read a status update by Kate's sister (below, in yellow) about how she's still up and not even shopping.
7:30 am - Kate and I arrive and kidnap her sister (Han) after she'd gotten only 30 minutes of sleep. We forced her to shop with us.
She was quite the trooper (especially for a 19 year old college student being paraded around Hobby Lobby).
10:00 am - Dropped Han off at home and stopped by Sonic for some drinks.
10:15 am - Decided to talk our friends into going to a crazy restaurant for lunch.
10:30 - Stopped by the "Largest Christmas Store in Texas" to waste some time.
The shortest Christmas tree in the pic is over 6' tall. yeah.
They had lots of homeless Santa's for sale...kinda made me sad.11:15 am - FINALLY we arrived at Campo Verde with our victims, I mean friends.
But once you did...you got to experience all it's glitz and glory.
They were afraid to even step through the door.
But once you did...you got to experience all it's glitz and glory.
A bull skull covered in gold glitter...
I mean, if this doesn't say classy, I don't know what does.
One thing can be said about Black Friday:
One thing can be said about Black Friday:
From getting up at an ungodly hour, standing in long lines, elbowing and being elbowed, trying to order food in a state of delirium...
It is NEVER dull.

You are one brave soul! And blessed to have friends that would be up with you at the crack of dawn like that. Sounds like fun though!
i really hope you took one of the homeless santas home. they look so downtrodden.
The bull is cracking me up. And thank you so much for your prayers and encouragment yesterday! God bless you!
Hugs,
