ASELSI's Christmas party

Again this year, we were blessed to take part in ASELSI's annual Christmas party.  They invited in a few thousand people (who signed up ahead of time) and gave them a bag of food and Christmas gifts for the children.
My dance team of 21 kids, called Arise! (in Spanish ¡Levántate!), met at 6:00 a.m. at a local gas station and walked together to ASELSI.
We joined a group from Texas that came to help put on a show at the party.
We presented our dance to three different groups of attendees.   The kids pretended to be the shepherds dancing for joy with their staffs after seeing baby Jesus.
Everyone had a great time, and the kids and I want to go back next year!
