Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

Christmas Morning

A Child This Day Is Born

A child this day is born 

A child of high renown 

Most worthy of a sceptre and a crown 

Glad tidings to all men 

Glad tidings sing we may 

Because the king of kings 

Was born on Christmas day 

These tidings shepherds heard 

Whilst watching o'er their fold; 

'Twas by an Angel unto them 

That night revealed and told. 

Glad tidings to all men 

Glad tidings sing we may 

Because the king of kings 

Was born on Christmas day 

Then was there with the Angel 

An host incontinent 

Of heavenly bright soldiers, 

All from the highest sent. 

Glad tidings to all men 

Glad tidings sing we may 

Because the king of kings 

Was born on Christmas day 

They praised the Lord our God, 

And our celestial King; 

All glory be in Paradise, 

This heavenly host do sing. 

Glad tidings to all men 

Glad tidings sing we may 

Because the king of kings 

Was born on Christmas day 

All glory be to God, 

That sitteth still on high, 

With praises and with triumph great, 

Andjoyful melody. 

Glad tidings to all men 

Glad tidings sing we may 

Because the king of kings 

Was born on Christmas day

Cupcakes for Baby Jesus

Tibi, Mandy and I were born in the same year three months apart.  I love getting together and talking about old times, men and kids!

Once upon a time Mandy, Tibi and I were huddled in my Grandmother's bathroom fixing our hair and playing with make-up.

The Cajun Night Before Christmas

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Christmas Eve is always spent with my dad's family.  There is always wonderful food, laughs, presents and FUN!  We did not shoot fireworks this year but we still managed to have an amazing time.

Festival of Lights

We were unable to attend the St. Lucy's Festival of Lights and Noel Acadien au Village this year so we drove around to look at the Christmas lights.  The kids had fun yelling out "Christmas Christmas" every time they saw Christmas lights.  

Dukes of Hazzard

Being a Dukes of Hazzard fan, I can not tell you how much I enjoy when my son wants to dress up like Beau and Luke Duke.  I think it is adorable!  I am sure he will want to disown me when he is older so I am going to cherish this experience now.

Happy Birthday Drake!

One bonus for having a birthday around Jesus' Birthday is that you can have a Louisiana Christmas Party!  Does anything bring more joy than seeing Ol' Saint Nick being pulled in a trailer by a four wheeler?  I don't think so!  We had a wonderful time!  Thanks Melissa!
