Best Party Ever!

Today was our big Christmas party! Just as I expected, all of the kids showed up in their very best clothes. The two girls we gave new shoes to were wearing them proudly.
We all met at the club, to load the bus. I went with the first load, and the kids were so excited they could barely contain themselves. We paired up everyone - one older girl with a younger girl, and boys the same thing. They all held hands with their partners, and sat with them on the bus. When we got to Maria's house (where we were holding the party), I had to make sure that the kids stayed with thier partners, in a straight line. This was to ensure that nothing got broken on the HUGE, beautiful Christmas display. They kids were enthralled and amazed with the display, and were very polite in Maria`s house. They also didn`t touch anything because before they left the club, Cathy told them that if they did, they would be shocked.
There was a live DJ at the party, and some of the kids started dancing. When the second load of kids arrived, the festivities really began! We had contests to win prizes, like hoola hooping, merangue dancing, and lots more. It was A LOT of fun, the kids loved it. Maria cooked a lot of food, and we took a break to enjoy it. She made chicken, rice, potato salad, cole slaw, and cupcakes. Everything was delicious, the kids really loved it. After we ate, there was more dancing and contests. It was so hot, so the kids had to take a lot of breaks from dancing - one of the kids taught me how to merengue.
When the party was over we threw another small party for the Mom`s back at the club. We served cake when the kids got back, and then handed out their gift baskets. It was very chaotic but so awesome to see the looks on their faces when we handed them their bag.
It was so amazing today to see all of the kids SO happy. They had good food, good friends and a lot to celebrate. This was one of the best days ever!
