There really could be 30 more things... like started Kindergarten homeschooling with my daughter, took the Doll ice skating and she could do it a little, baked donuts (& was so hoping they would be mouthwatering, but alas they are what they sound like - just cake donuts:(0) And saw many new places  on our journey to the east coast. We sure had a full year. Life is a great gift and any day spent with my family is truly a blessing, friends are always a bonus:)
