Winter Games 2010

Looks like we started a new tradition...the CBS Lifegroup Winter Games. This year we all decided to take part in an olympic themed social, but our games were a little less intense and a lot more silly! We took part in three events; the three legged race, the balloon bust and ice blocking. Each event was broken into heats, the winners advanced to the next heat and we ultimately declared a winner in each event. Thanks for all the laughs and memories folks! We have photos to remember the night for years to come. See y'all this summer for the CBS Lifegroup Summer Games!
