Christmas Parties

Curtis had his work Christmas party last night (Dec 12th) at the Scottsdale Doubletree Hotel. It was very nice. The food was incredible! They had a DJ and we danced only the slow dances until 10:10 pm and then headed home very tired. I love these Christmas parties...where you get to dress up and not think of anything but your wonderful spouse! Tonight we are hosting at our home the Ward Leadership Christmas Dinner/Party. There will be about 10-11 couples coming. Knowing this party is going to happen is what makes the Christmas decorations go up in our house! But...I am ready. Should be fun.

Here is us together at his work party.

Noelle Heidi Larkin is here!!

What an exciting day! Our daughter Heidi gave birth to her number 4 yesterday, little Noelle Heidi Larkin was born 12/12 at 11:22 am weighing in at 7lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long.

Here is a me holding Noelle at the hospital.

Here is Noelle just opening her eyes.

This and That

I have been fighting a cough and runny nose since last Thursday afternoon. When it hit, it hit. Yesterday I spent all day in bed (except for 2 hours). Today I feel pretty good...I might live. In fact...I worked on my Christmas letters and will have them in the mail this afternoon. What a task! It only took me 5 hours!

Good news! Found out if Heidi doesn't go into labor before this Friday, she and Jace report to the hospital at 4:00 a.m. on Friday. So little Noelle will have a 12/12 birthday! Noelle will make #8 grandchild. Can't wait to hold her and love her! Once she gets here, I will be helping Heidi and playing with the other three.
