There is one positive to not spending Thanksgiving in Boise-you get to sleep in the day after Thanksgiving. Every year my mother assembles a large team of shoppers to help her score the great deals on Black Friday. With so many grandchildren to shop for she has to stretch those dollars around the holidays. After the turkey is all put away the adds come out and we start our battle plan for the next day. It usually goes something along the lines of one shopper walking in the door and standing in line while the others run crazy through the store gathering all of the items and then joining the shopper in line. The day will usually begin at Best Buy or Target depending on who has the hottest item. The day is not complete until the trip to Fred Meyer to purchase socks at 50% off. Only once have I seen blood drawn on our early morning outings. This year my sister Brooke and I did not go out and fight the early morning crowds, we opted for sleep over the great savings. We did however, head to Target in the late afternoon just to say we have not forgotten everything we have been taught. I snapped this photo at Target while my sister was modeling a cute hat for her son.

Ben told me about this. That was never a tradition in my fam, because a lot of times we went up to my cabin. Every once in a while we would venture out to Nordstrom, but not until the afternoon. Funny stuff.
