An insane amount of soaps from Bath and Body Works! A few dvd's, sheets, a down comforter( or some type of comforter) someone in my house always seems to need one. Throws, luggage, pj's, and then more Bath and Body Works...lol

No....just No....

I got a lot of work out clothes and running accessories. I also got a new keurig for work, perfumes, body washes, coach sunglasses, gift cards, and a lot of Harry Potter gear so I am a very happy lady! Kids and family got everything they wanted too. It was a wonderful Christmas. Most importantly I got to spend another holiday season making memories with my family and that is the best thing of all.

WE do not go out until Thursday evening but every store we went too was not busy. People were there but not the Black Friday crowds. The outlets were practically empty. I miss the good old days of 5am openings! I think the people and the market got better results that way...

My best memory was when KB toys was still around. My brother was manager there for year's. I would always work Black Friday. Everyone on line was always in a good mood. We uuse to hand out candy canes and talk to people while they waited. It really felt like the start of the holidays. Black Friday is so NOT like that anymore with sales starting on Thanksgiving. Worst memory was when I was pregnant. I was not feeling 100% but thought it was because I was tired. After 2 hours of shopping I felt faint and just drove home. Ends up I had a horrible high fever and obviously missed the rest of the day/weekend shopping.

We are still waiting on the really big ads. I was disappointed in Kohl's but I thought Macy's was amazing. So it just makes more to buy there and I don't need to wait on that insane Kohl's line this year! I the big ads will have some good deals to come!

Bareminerals anything for 10.00 is an amazing price. Even there smaller sizes last a REALLY long time.

I always do about half throughout the year and the other half on Black Friday. Then I was have a few odds and ends that I scramble around for in December.

Hubby- Apple Watch Oldest dd 13- debating between a tablet or netbook Middle dd 9- American Girl everything... ds 7- Wii U and star wars disney infinity 3.0

Santa was very generous to us this year...my ds as always LOVED all of his Disney die cast cars....they have been his favorite since he was 2 ( he is now almost 7!) and he is really getting into star wars so we found star wars themed die cast disney cars and got the whole set so I think those were his favorites! my middle daughter got almost all Frozen and American girl items and she loves them all! My oldest daughter got a sewing machine so she is very excited to try to start making her own things on it. My hubby's favorite was probabbly the big tool box thing I got him for the garage and my favorite was my new dslr camera! Great year with GREAT memories to always cherish....soooo, is it almost ready to start thinikng about next year yet????? =)
