Halftime Report

This year the boys decided to hold a company Christmas party. When you think of a Christmas party, you think of fun decorations and games, delicious goodies, and a catered dinner. Our parties are no different.

The food was catered...........................................Digiorno and Dr Pepper

The decorations were festive, and the games were completely Christmas oriented..............Deer heads and xbox.

And the entertainment was live............................................College Football

Christmas tastes good

Brrrrrrrr.

It is December.

Winter is here.

Next week is Christmas.

We still have no tree.

We do have firewood.

My belly is big,

Which is a good way to be during the Holidays.

I do like to eat.

Last night the Heiner family got together for a

celebration dinner for Holly and Dan for their graduation from BYU-Idaho. Holly had prints of some of her artwork to give to all of us-this is the one we picked, called fruit salad.

Although this picture does her art no justice(obviously, since you can hardly see the picture through the artistic reflections), this is one of Holly's awesome pieces of art. Want to see more? http://www.hollyferrisart.com/ is the place to go.

Baby Heiner is growing lots. Dr says everything is looking just the way it should. I'm almost 32 weeks now. Woah! Not very much longer!

A Thousand Apologies

We woke up to birds chirping and warm rays of sunshine beaming through our window on our well rested faces. We walked into the kitchen and Darth had prepared us a delectable breakfast of chocolate waffles with fresh fruit and whipped cream, fresh squeezed orange juice, and he even did the dishes. "What a beautiful morning" we said. "We should take advantage of this wonderful December day and go for a relaxing walk and find our perfect Christmas tree" So we put on our shorts and put together a delicious picnic basket and headed off into the forest with our well behaved hound.

Not really. We woke up to a blizzard. And what else would we want to do but drive to Idaho falls to finish up our Christmas shopping. We got there, slower than usual, but we got there. We managed to get pretty much none of our Christmas shopping done just in time for the winter wonder to kick back in. We decided to go home before the roads closed, so off we went into the snowy bliss. We made it, but we owe a few apologies. I should apologise to the man in the large Dodge that passed several vehicles in a row even though you could barely see past the hood of your car. I should apologize because I wished him off the road before he killed someone. But since I never saw him in the ditch, I wont apologize. I do however apologize to Britt, publicly, for ditching her and her husband once agian. I'm sure she will get used to it though, since she is now one of the middle children. I should apologize to my sister in advance, in case we have no ugly sweaters, since we never made it to the "special" store. And probably anyone who shops this time of year owes everyone an apology for being crabby in the stores after getting smashed into a wall or clothing rack. After all....Tiss the Season!!!

Not much of a post

ok-to solve mystery of the big red rocky mountain thing... Minus the oranges of course, mother I believe it was something you sent to all us girls with a few Christmas things last year.....
Maybe I would blog more if there were more mysteries to solve....

SEASONS GREETINGS!

from the chubby snowmen in the mountains!
I spent the last couple of days slaving away in the kitchen baking delicious Christmas cookies. And although I made myself nauseous (thats for you mom), I had a finger lickin good time. I stayed inside, away from the winter wonderland out my window, and I made my own snowballs, along with chocolate meringue stars (only mine are blobs), oreo bon bons, and a few others. All the while getting our son used to the eating habits that tend to run in the family. Good luck little boy...lets hope you're blessed with the same wonderful metabolism the rest of us inherited.
baby update: Lots of kicking for him; bathroom breaks and heartburn for me. But he likes christmas cookies, and thats really what matters. And FYI, I now weigh only 10 lbs less than Tyson.

Christmas Comes But Once A Year

I got my sad little collection of Christmas decorations out last night. What you see is about all I have. It's a good thing though. If I had much more I wouldn't have known what to do with it. But hopefully we will be getting a tree one of these days.

Thanks to my knifty knitter I made these stockings for us this year.Hopefully they dont fall apart when we use them. Notice we are now "Mom" and "Dad", even though tiny heiny wont be here this year (hopefully......that would be interesting)
This sad little excuse for a stocking was my first. Its actually bigger than either of ours, not that Darth is spoiled or anything. But what would you expect from me?

P.S. Baby update. I had my 29 week appointment today. I had to get my blood drawn for my glucose test. Thats always fun. Dr. said everything is looking good though and I start my two week appointments now. HOLY COW. WE ARE HAVING A BABY

Before.....
We woke up to a beautiful Rocky Mountain sunrise. It was fairly warm, and soon the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds.

After....
But before too long it looked like this.
It started snowing/blowing/raining/icing. MMMmmmm, icing. I think I'll stay inside today and bake. And tackle some online christmas shopping. Yay for the internet!

WHAT DO YOU WANT??????
