Here are a few more pictures of the teepee that we made the kids for Christmas!  When my mom visited over Thanksgiving we worked a number of nights on this project.  It was my first time following a pattern and my sewing skills are pretty minimal so there is absolutely no way I could have done this without my mom...I would have been totally lost!  But with mom's sewing skills and patient teaching we did it!  And Joe finished out the project by finding the wood on our friend's land and making the poles.  It's not perfect (it's a little bit difficult to get up at first and the fabric slips down a bit after a while) but I kinda love it...it's so fun and simple...and the kids really seem to enjoy it too!  And I have to admit that I love it even more knowing that we made it just for them!
