WARNING after viewing these you will want to go to CPBC!

Christmas camp 2008 it began with us quickly meeting up with our camp friends and they all got together in the snow to build a snowman! what a great start, thanks to Kyle for helping out.
as you look on you will see all the fun activities we did, 1 st rock climbing this is Liv and our camp friend climbing

Gray and B which is so cool to see them climb together
here are the on lookers
I love this pic, B and a camp friend. they kept racing each other up it was quite exciting

A big thing happened for liv HER 1 st TOOTH came out !! it had been loose since before Christmas and Court kept working on it they decided to take a break from it and liv walked 3 steps away and the tooth just fell into her mouth, HOORAY!

luckily the tooth fairy does know where CPBC is. My little toothless maggie (that's what grandpa reggie always called us when we lost our teeth)


candle holder craft, fun



ready to sled. Sledding is actually the most popular activity at Christmas camp and happened several times each day but sledding pictures aren't that great

camp rented out the entire bowling alley (10 lanes) for camp so that was really fun

ALL the Rills got strikes even the little ones


making cookies






she one for the largest cookie

liv and kelly
and then the broom ball tournament began
notice who B is facing there


Colby gave liv some pointersthen she went over to assist Kyle in clearing the hole in the ice for Polar Bearing, she will end up getting a much closer look at that hole later on
me and J watching our team smash the competition

remember the pic of B getting Rick for Christmas well Erik patiently taught the boys to play and boy did they play for HOURS!!



LOVE IT! what is not in the picture is when G would stand on that chair next to Colby and go superman style on to the family pile

our last day of the year tradition here it is you may not believe what you are about to see but it is true! step 1 get go0d and heated up...(uncle Gladdy notice the lights around the kids necks perfect for polar bearing )
now she did go in up to her arm pits aah! she was the youngest person to ever polar bear at camp

until 15 minutes later when the 4 year old did it! My camera wouldn't focus fast enough this is after he was plunged you can tell by the water dripping off his smartwools

G only dipped once but liv ended up going 2 more times must be the viking in her


and here we are ringing in the new year. Sky had the idea to bring sparkling grape juice to go with our smarties (another new year tradition) so we invited our friends over and celebrated together

Happy new year
what a great way to begin our new year
sadly K started his new year with a fresh injury and liv was very sympathetic she wouldn't leave his side.but God is so good my kids were polar bearing right where he got hurt literally only several minutes apart. I thank God for sparing all my kids from seeing him in that much agony. My first praise of the year

once again the Jesus Freaks are NUMBER 1! yes we (really they ) didn't loose a single game and once again my Sky was MVP of the tournament having only 5 goals scored on him. YEAH TEAM

if you think this looks like an awesome time you are right. We hope that next year this family picture will be even more full with more of you who join us for the F-U-N

This is us feeling sad for poor kyle but also sad to leave one of our favorite places ever!
