What Child is This?

What Child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary's lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,

The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,

The Cross be borne, for me, for you.

Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;

Come peasant, king, to own Him.

The King of Kings salvation brings;

Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise, the song on high,

The Virgin sings her lullaby:

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Yesterday Kendra played some Christmas music over Skype and

we had a long distance dance off between the Ottesons and the Blacks. 

Luke enjoyed the entertainment!

They really got into it and gave it their all. 

I love the hair flips Elise produced!

In the end, though, I think they were a little tired. 
When Landon got home, he took a nap becuase we wore him out.
 It was a very fun day and we had fun with the Ottesons,
the Welches (they visited too)
and the Blacks (via Skype). 

I am tired just watching them dance . . .
