Hey! Last night Ike and Zack's b-ball team (the Hawks) J.R. High and S.R. High (the team Ike and Zack play on) both won!!!!! The J.R. highs game was a close game. They won by three points and the S.R. team's score was 38 to 37. It was a really close game! I'm really glad they won!!

Snow.

I just wanted to post some pictures so I thought I'd post some pictures of the snow we had.

The picture from the end of the driveway. (Ali went outside and took a bunch of pictures of the snow)

The view of the barn on the side of it going up the driveway.

The pine trees with the barn in the background.

Snow is so pretty but It makes so many people not able to go places!

Hey everyone!

On Sunday night (of the 6th) we had a surprise 4th birthday party for our dad. But no kids were there because it was only for parents. But all of us kids went to the Seibles house. It was so much fun! Bethany, Nately, Emmy, Grace and I played wedding, then came down stairs and Emily, Leah, Lydia, Amanda, Logan, Ali, Ike and Zack played cards well the rest of the kids watched a movie. Then we were going to leave and Dad and Mr.Seible came back to they're house, so Bethany (she is 9) on up went down in the basement. Bethany, Logan and I played tag, well the older kids played 4 person ping-pong. Then we played around the world (they call it round robin).

Then then we had to leave. They live in fond Du Lac so it is one hour away and we left around 11:30 and got home around 12:45ish! I got to bed at 1:00am!!!

Love always,
Aleks

Hey everyone!

On December 30th our friends the Kloths came over. It was really fun! We had found a really steep sledding hill. So we went out side and went sledding for a little while. Then after a little while we came inside and hung out. Then later (really late) at like 10:30 we played the game Apples to Apples, and then we waited tell midnight to go to bed then watched 2 comedian. But I didn't stay awake for the second comedian (it was really late when they woke me up to go up stairs, but I'm glad that I didn't sleep in to late).

The next day the Kloths left around 10ish, then we got ready to go to one of my Aunts houses.(It is only about 2:30 hours away) They had the big Klahn gathering there. It was really fun! I'll hopefully be able to post some of the pictures (we haven't downloaded them yet) soon!!

Love always,
Aleks
