Grace Kids Christmas Party December 2014

Yesterday we had a Grace Kids Christmas party for our church. It went so well, much better than we could have ever expected. We had a great turn out and the kids had a lot of fun. Even Japanese Santa Clause made an appearance and gave gifts to the kids. It was neat to see all of the kids together and the parents. We also had a lot of helpers who played well with the kids and jumped in when something needed to be done. It was a very fun morning, well worth the work involved to make it a success. We started off with a film, and the kids watched Charlie Brown Christmas in Japanese. Then our pastor gave a short message for kids followed by a visit from Santa Clause. After a yummy pizza lunch, with homemade onigiri on the side, the kids played some games, watched a puppet show, and got to decorate Christmas cookies. Fun was had by all ages.
