Almost here!

The kids are absolutely nuts right now.

How we have been getting ready for Christmas...

1. Cut out snow flakes- even though the kids have NO idea why they look like the cut outs.

2. Made hundreds of Christmas chains....with every color construction paper EXCEPT red and green... we ran out in early December.

3. Put up the little fake trees in each house. Everyone has an ornament with their picture in it!

4. Christmas cards for their sponsors- shipped over to America already!

5. Christmas Pinatas- Yup a Christian/Mexican/Africa new tradition!! Our St. 5 class made a snowman...covered in glitter. I asked one of the kids today what we should name it...he told me...Frosty...duh..

6. Make cookies for Santa..or so that the mamas and I can eat all of them all.

7. Make Gingerbread house....its a competition going down between our house and Mikumi on Saturday...GO Rubundo house!

8. Wrap 2 gifts per kid..with around 150 total kids...thats 300 presents to wrap...be thankful

9. Practice, practice, practice for the Christmas pagaent. There are 5 houses and each has to do a dance/song/ something. I decided that since EVERY morning I wake up to the kids singing Waka Waka by Shakira...why not make it a Christmas song, so here are the NEW words for Waka Waka-Christmas Style..

If your a good kid

Throughout the year

Picked yourself up

Helped others out

Calmed others fears

Its Christmas time

You feel it

You know the gifts

Today is the day

Hope its never over

Its Christmas time

You feel it

We have it all

Believe it

The trees set up- oh oh

Santa came- eh eh

Presents present everywhere...ITS TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

Presents presents- love, love

All together- ho ho

Be kind and joyous

ITS TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!

(There are 2 more verses but you get the point!)

Merry Christmas to everyone in the states!!
