Black (Cold and Wet) Friday

Brian and I were on the hunt for the perfect Christmas present for the boys. (It is a secret since they read this blog too). And it just so happened that Best Buy had the presents we wanted on sale. Mark was nice enough to come along in case it was only 1 per household. We all got up and met over at Best Buy around 2:30 am. The ad's all said they would give out tickets starting around 3. The line was pretty long when we got there, but it condensed as the tents and canopies were taken down. We waited and waited and waited and it started to snow and rain. We were a little cold and wet. But we toughed it out and continued to wait. Finally around 4:30 am the Best Buy employees came out and started to hand out the tickets. We were about 10-15 people away from getting the tickets for the items we wanted. DARN. Plus Brian and Mark almost had to beat up some guy (well at least in their minds) who was trying to sneak past us in line. So dramatic!

Mark had also seen similar items for sale at another store so we headed over there. This time we were again about 10 people away in line. It just wasn't meant to be. But it was still fun! And a great experience.

Brian and I went home and slept for a while and Mark went shopping for Molly's presents.
