Customs and Traditions
Every Christmas my family gets together. We get together with my dads side of the family. Our family and my aunts family rotate every year for who's house it's at. The adults play "dirty Santa" and the kids exchange gifts.
Whenever someone we know is ill, my mom signs up on a care calender and picks a date to make a meal for the family. Depending on the type of sickness, we make meals more than once a month.

Values
One of my parents rules is to be honest with each other. Otherwise our punishment would be more harsh if they found out from a different source. We were always taught that if you don't want to be lied to, then you shouldn't lie to anyone else.
Another value to my family is that we love watching sports and going to each others sporting events. We go to a lot of Brewer games during the season. My brother plays lacrosse and I play basketball and run track. When we are not busy with sports, we try to have a family game night.

Religion
I was baptized as a Methodist when I was a baby. We go to church on Sundays. On Sundays I go to confirmation class and I will be confirmed this year. I go on retreats and have fellow ship with other members from our church. Our religious beliefs are that when you pass away and don't commit a sin, then you go to heaven.
Recreation
My family owns a cabin up north. When we go up there we ride our ATV's, shop, and hunt. And sometimes when it's warm we go swimming.
I am on a select basketball team and I use to do gymnastics. I have been in this team since 3rd grade and I would like to continue all through high school. We have tournaments and go to state every year and even though we don't place high, we always have fun!

Art/Music/Literature
When ever my family is in the car driving my brother and I always get to listen to our radio station so my parents always try to sing along. But when my dad joins in, he always makes up his own lyrics because he doesn't know the real lyrics. Then my dad starts dancing whenever the rap songs come on. It's really embarrassing.
