Somthing I have never done before

After a great Thanksgiving I came home and spent the evening with my family. We had a great night playing, laughing and just being together. I had made plans to go Black Friday Shopping with my husbands cousin Melissa and aunt Patsy at 3:30 AM! YEP that's right if you know me you know that must be a typo. But nope it's not. Of course since I was getting up at 3AM it was so easy to go to sleep early that night. . .NOT! I couldn't sleep I finally feel asleep sometime between 12:30 and 1:00AM. However I woke up before my wake-up call even came at 2:50 not only did I wake up but I was wide awake. I was in the kitchen making myself some oatmeal when my wake up call came at 3AM. At 3:15 I was warming up the van and putting on my make-up. Why not? I was in the van waiting patiently. I also got a call from my friend Whitnee sometime around 3:30 and she was certain that I was still sleeping. . .lol oh she knows me well!
So we got to wal-mart around 4AM I had my add and list with all of my gifts ready . . .Melissa had all of her add's and her notebook. We searched out the items we thought would be the hardest to get and that we most wanted. I wanted to get 2 video games for Anthony they were 1/2 off. But there were only 10 of each. Patsy got in the middle of all these people I thought for sure they were going to trample her. Right before 5:00 hit I was a bundle of anxiety about what to expect after all I had heard a ton of horror stories. When 5 hit however the anxiety vanished and we were off. Patsy survived the crowd of people around the video games. Then we were headed to grab something for Melissa (not going to share what because they are gifts). Then Patsy and I ran to toys and walked up an isle grabbed all we could found an isle to park and head out again. It didn't take long to get all the toys I needed for my kids, nieces and nephews. By the time I was finished Melissa had found us and grabbed a few toys she needed. Then we headed up the the pj pants that took us a few to find the right sizes and such. We were in the line checking out at 5:45 AM that is right I was basically done with my Christmas shopping in 45 minutes.
The only other thing that I picked up was a few movies at Target for the kids stockings and a $9 vacuum (that must of been for my son).
Here are a few pic's from our trip and a pic of my son LOVING HIS VACUUM :)
