We didn't get in everything on our list, but I think we did a fairly good job. I did posts for most of these. For the few we squeezed in the last few days, I'll post some pictures here.

Make a quilt - Tresa (Nov 28)
I didn't do a full-sized quilt, but I did make a quilt for Lily that matched Kate's. I also sewed most of Kate's winter clothes, her winter pajamas, Enoch's winter pajamas, and doll clothes and pajamas that matched Kate's. That was a project. Maybe a quilt next year? PS - Mom, did you notice Kate's clothes are a cluster? hahaha

Make Oreo Pyramid - Gavin (Dec 30)
I bought a Costco box of Oreos for Gavin's pyramid. Within one day we had one sleeve of cookies left. Gavin built a small pyramid out of those last few cookies. Hey, don't eat them and you will have a bigger pyramid!

Make a 5-foot snowman - Gavin (Dec 31)
The snowman didn't happen, but I figure all the snow forts count for something. The kids got some snow bricks for Christmas and have had so much fun building snow forts. They also received some snowball makers (that work really well) for their battles. We have one snow wall in the front yard and two in the back for battles.

I just told dave that we should make a list like this, he said ok and walked off. But I'm glad you guys are a planning family so that you get to do what each kid wants to do, but not overboard. :)

I think maybe Dad and I should make a list like this both for the mission and when we get home. Thanks for inspiring us. Your family came up with such great ideas! Oh, how I loved the pictures of Kate's "cluster." I had forgotten about "clustering." I'll work on that for the next mission. ;-) I'm still amazed at all the sewing you are doing! Thanks for blogging about it. I'm surprised the Oreo pyramid is as big as it is with Greg and Gavin around. All the snow forts look so fun--much more useful for fun than a snowman! Great post!

WOW- looks like a pretty busy time, mom and I are wondering if we will be able to keep up with all you daughters now. Great clothes and fun activities for the year. They will all be great memories to look back on. LOVE DAD
