| The kids on Christmas day in front of the Art Center! |
Christmas morning, Kelly and I went to the Art Center with our cans of spray snow that she picked up in the states to decorate all the windows and doors. We set up the Christmas tree on a table with all the kids' presents surrounding it and had loud Christmas music playing to get the kids ready and excited for our Christmas celebration. Once the kids were in the Art Center and seated, Garret began by sharing the Christmas message with the children as they anxiously awaited opening their presents. Each kid received one present, but unlike in the states, they had to come up front once their name was called and dance their way to Garret who was holding their present. It was a blast and the kids were so excited!!! Many of the boys asked for remote control cars so they spent the day playing with them. We also had a ping pong table built so there were many games of ping pong on Christmas. The kids had a late lunch/ early dinner of their favorite: chicken and fried rice! The kids had a great Christmas day and were looking forward to the next day when we take them to Kessben Stadium, a professional football (soccer) field that we rented out for the day.

Kessben Stadium is located near our campus and is no longer being used so we could rent it out for the day. We brought soccer balls, footballs, rope for tug-of-war, sacks for potato sack races, water balloons, and a parachute to play with. The kids had a blast playing for hours and hours!!! We brought meat pies and meat kabobs for lunch along with ice cream and pop for the kids to enjoy!
