Christmas Parties!!!!

Life was busy the end of last year and although I posted pictures on my FaceBook of the Christmas parties, I never had the chance to write on my blog. So, if you are suffering from the January blues and tired of winter, let me throw you back into the holiday spirit!!!!!
This year instead of the big parties we did individual CarePoint parties at each and EVERY of the 19 CarePoints in 6 days!!! We had 3 teams of missionaries, Cup staff, HPC volunteers and 2 mission teams from the US helping out. It was not what we had originally planned, we had been doing 3 BIG parties BUT God had a better plan, more intimate partoes where more of the neighborhood children could come and hear the true reason for Christmas! The first picture is the kids waiting to get into the party at Fonteyn, followed by the program as they sat under the big tent! LOTS of kids to love on each day!!!









We had different activities from face/body painting to dancing!

















We had soccer to relay races!!!















We had ice cream to water slides and jumping castles!!!






















Puppet show about Jesus's birth and chicken and LOTS of FUN!!!!!!













So, Merry Christmas to all!!! And to all a blessed in 2010!!!!!

Oh, I must get there for next year's parties. That is what I loved about the party in XaiXai - how intimate it was. But having that 4,000 kid party sure knocked my socks off too. So glad you are "home"
