We've been missing out!

It's been almost a month since I last updated my blog-wow I'm such a slacker! I have alot of little things to write about so I hope it all makes sense!

Thanksgiving-This year was our year to spend with the Taskers in Delta. Tom's mom made some really yummy food! We went shooting too (a Thanksgiving tradition) which was fun but cold. That night we came home and prepared to go shopping on BLACK FRIDAY-it was my first time ever! Brooke, Nancy, and I left the house at 3:30 am to head to Kohls. The guys took Sierra to Walmart at 4 am so they could stand in line to get a PS3. Tom stood in line for the PS3 while Tim stood in line for Rockband. Tim was #17 in line, and when 5:00 came they started handing it out and they only had 16! So Tim missed it by 1! How often does that happen? We were able to get most of what we wanted, and by the end of the day we were all exhausted, even Sierra.

On Saturday the guys welded on the trailer (Awesome job!)

While Brooke and I painted these photoboards (Thanks Nancy!)

I wanted to write about a few things i'm thankful for:

*Tom-he works so hard everyday and makes it so I can stay home with Sierra. I am SO grateful for that! I love you babe!
*Sierra-she is such a sweet and fun little girl! I'm so glad that Heavenly Father sent us such a perfect little girl-I love you!
*Friends-We have so many fun friends to hang out with.
*Family-We have some of the greatest family in the world-they are always willing to help us out when we need it.
*A House-Our house isn't big but is perfect for what we need. It had a bed, toilet(yes I am thankful for toilets) and it keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

There are so many other things I could write about but if I wrote about everything this post would be ginormous (it probably already is ) :)

Tom-Tom is almost finished with school for the semester, and I CAN'T WAIT!His last final is Dec. 15th. As soon as he gets home from work he always has to leave for school so we hardly ever see him. He has 2 more quizzes and 2 more finals and then he is DONE! Wahoo! At least for now. :(

Me-I have been working on making a quilt for our bed that has camo and a cabin theme on it. I'll post pictures as soon as I finish it. I have been trying to help Tom with his PHIL2050 class by writing some of his papers :) and making study guides so he can take the tests. It is alot of work! I finally managed to get our Christmas tree up last week. We decided to change the decorations this year for Sierra so we don't have and glass ones. So far everything is plastic or felt-it has turned out really cute! You can's see very good from this picture but it has red, brown and cream ornaments with pinecones. I'm making a tree skirt too that matches but it's not quite done yet.

Sierra-Sierra is getting cuter and cuter everyday-we love her SO much! She says please for everything and then says thank you. :) She has recently learned 'doe'-which is her way of saying no but she puts a D at the front. If she gets mad she says 'doe doe doe DOE!' She wore her fuzzy christmas dress to church on sunday with her hat. After church I took a picture of her but she wouldn't wear her hat. :( She was trying to walk in Tom's work boots and I thought is was so cute. You can see the Christmas lights in the picture-it's an extra strand that Sierra had been dragging around the house for the last week! :) She really loves the lights.

That's about is for now, we are just busy finishing Tom's classes and getting ready for Christmas!
