Saturday was the Larsen Christmas party. We (the youngest 5 siblings) were in charge this year so it was a little more stressful than usual. We had dinner at 5:00 5:45 (the person making the kids quesadillas was late). Yummy Cafe Rio style buffet. Then the hugest game of Elimination EVER! I think about 50 people played. Lots of prizes for the winners. Then Santa came!
We finished the night with a slide show of pictures of Grandma & Grandpa. It turned out to be afun night and if we had started on time we would have been done by 8:00. Alas, 8:45. I counted 113 people in attendance. After clean up we got home at about 9:30.
While getting the kids ready for bed Anna fell and hit her head on the post by the stairs. I picked her up and hugged and kissed her and came away with bloody lips. Wes took her and covered the wound while we said family prayer and put the other kids to bed. In the prayer Kaylee asked that Anna would be okay and that her cut would stop hurting. After examining her Wes decided she needed stitches. Fortunately that is something he can do at home. The worst part of stitches is always the numbing because he has to put a needle in the cut. It is usually pretty painful. Anna just laid there and didn't even flinch. Two stitches and some ibuprophen later and she was ready for bed. Now you wouldn't know she had been hurt. It is definately and answer to prayer. It's amazing how negative things can become faith builders and lessons for us and our children.

That is pretty awesome! Convenient that Wes can just sew her up. I'm glad she didn't hurt. What a blessing.
