Black Friday

Well, I did it. I braved the early hour and the big crowds to do some Black Friday Christmas shopping. Christine, Elisabeth and I decided that we didn't need to do the insanely early get in line at 4am thing - so we got up at a slightly more reasonable 6:30am and met up at Target by about 7am. I scored a dual-screen travel DVD player for 1/2 off for Sean and I - something we were hoping to get before our long drive down to Cali next month - along with a few DVDs to add to our collection. However, after some debate and research, Sean and I decided to take the DVD player back - it didn't quite have all of the features we were looking for. Christine had to get to work, so Elisabeth and I headed to Shopko where they had advertised a Fisher-Price car garage toy that I have wanted to get for Ethan. Toys'R'Us has it for $37, but Shopko had a $9.99 deal. Too bad it was sold out before we got there - darn it! Their regular price is only $19.99, so I think I'll have to check back sometime before Christmas. So after we were unsuccessful with any great deals at both Shopko and Toys'R'Us, Elisabeth and I headed back to our house to take naps, eat lunch and watch one of the new DVDs. After lots of lounging around, we bundled back up - including Ethan this time - and head over to Valley River while Sean went to get his hair cut. Elisabeth found an AWESOME deal. A pair of bermuda shorts and a cute top for under $5! I got a couple more Christmas presents bought and then we headed back home - very satisfied with our purchases.

Here are the Toftdahl girls displaying some 'highly fashionable' sunglasses we found at Forever 21. We are so totally stylin' - right?! ;)
