Black Friday tradition

Every year we get up and head to Albany.

We participate in the Black Friday frenzy.

Lately, we haven't gotten there quite as 

early as in years past. 

But still we go.

It's fun to get out and maybe catch a 

sale or two.

And take care of some gifts.

And people watch ...

And just spend time with my mom,

my sister, and now my older niece, Jordan.

Good times!

Ready to shop 'til we drop.

Notice its still dark outside.

But it is around 7 a.m.

We're not part of the insane, wee hours of

the morning crowd.  Yet.

My dear mother.

Doing her 'sorority' pose.

Taught to her by her nutty friend Pam.

We refused to try it out with her.

I know ... we're kill-joys ... :)
