Talent Show

On Saturday we had our very first Rafiki Talent Show! It was a hit! We hung blanket across the clotheslines to set the stage - complete with benches and cute Rafiki Talent Show sign! The kids were eager to get out there and show their stuff! The kids got to pick out their own talent that they wanted to do. I expected everyone to just sing or dance because all of them are so good at that but we actually had some very creative ideas!

Annet started us off with some awesome dancing!

Brenda and Esther sang a song together with matching outfits!

Carol's talent was building a tower out of blocks!

I was the MC of course! Don's talent was dancing but he won an award for best smile!

When I asked Jerom what talent he wanted to do he said "cartwheels and Christmas"! i asked him to clarify what exactly he meant by Christmas and he just said "Christmas trees!" so I just rolled with it! haha when he started his act i ran over to the tape player and played The First Noel while he did cartwheels! haha Jerom got awarded the most creative combination!

Fauziya danced!

Even the aunties and uncles got in on all the fun! Here is Rachel, Hunter and I dancing to Magic.

The kids joined in too!

Cocus and Joel played futbol for their talent!

Brenda blew bubbles! and won the crowd over!

Here is Emma dancing in his shades! All the other kids chose to do music from my ipod but Emma wanted the African drums to dance to! Godefry said "Oh. That is a real African man!"

After bathing and changing into pajamas we had our very own award ceremony where all the kids got awards for their talents.

Over all I'd say the show was a success!
