After 11 seasons and over 200 episodes, the lovable families of Modern Family have had their fair share of monumental moments. Fans of the ABC sitcom have seen the kids grow up into young adults and have seen the parents of each respective household make transitions in their lives as things changed. More importantly, no matter how many things shifted in these three households, they always came together and loved one another.

Now that Modern Family is done, we’re taking a look at each main character’s biggest milestone. To be reminded of these special moments, scroll below!

10 When Haley Dunphy Found Out She Was Pregnant

In the episode “Did the Chicken Cross the Road?,” Haley Dunphy found out she was pregnant with Dylan’s baby. Little did she know then, but she was actually pregnant with twins! Becoming pregnant is a huge milestone for any couple, but it’s even more shocking when the couple isn’t expecting it. After realizing she was pregnant, Haley was forced to get her life together. She and Dylan were lucky Claire and Phil let them stay in their basement for an extended time, otherwise who knows where she’d end up. And although having babies unexpectedly was surprising for Haley (and viewers), motherhood looked great on her.

9 Phil Dunphy Finally Had His Own Magic Shop

Phil Dunphy had a ton of monumental moments throughout Modern Family. With a personality and work ethic as strong as his, he was capable of doing anything he put his mind to. Presenting the SCARBs was a huge deal for Phil, so was buying that parking lot with Jay. But his biggest moment was owning a magic shop.

In the episode “Ten Years Later,” Phil finds out that Claire killed his dream of working in magic when she never told him about the magic shop gig 10 years ago. He was blatantly upset that Claire decided his future for him. To make up for it. Claire bought the magic shop back for Phil and made him the happiest man in California. Oddly enough, we don’t hear too much more about the magic shop after that but it was still a big moment for Phil.

8 Alex Dunphy Graduated Top Of Her Class From Caltech

Fans can’t say they weren’t surprised when Alex Dunphy graduated with high honors in the episode “Commencement.” She graduated top of her class from middle school and was co-valedictorian when she graduated high school. Anything other than the best of the best would be unlike Alex.

Like all teenagers, Alex had some trouble deciding where she wanted to go to college, but when she finally decided on Caltech, it was the right decision. She didn’t necessarily adore her first semester away but over time, she found her steps. Seeing Alex graduate from such a prestigious university was a huge moment in her (and her parents’) life.

7 Claire Dunphy Was Promoted To CEO Of Pritchett’s Closets & Blinds

As much as Claire loves being a mother and wife, she was destined for more. Her big-time career plans were put on hold after she had a surprise pregnancy with Haley. After Haley came Alex and Luke, forcing Claire to put her dreams on hold once again.

But as the kids grew up, Claire was ready for the workforce once again. She started working for her dad at Pritchett’s Closets & Blinds, which eventually landed her the CEO position when Jay retired. There was no thrill bigger than seeing Claire run a major company on her own terms.

6 Luke Dunphy Finally Made It To College

When Luke was a senior in high school, he realized that his charming personality and good looks weren’t enough to get him into college. Luke wasn’t dumb, per se, he just had issues paying attention and applying himself in school. After getting denied and wait-listed from every school he applied to, Luke decided to take some time off and work until he was able to apply again. As nervous as fans were for Luke’s future, it ended up being the right move for Luke. He was able to find himself and realize what he wanted to do with his future. By the final season, fans learned that Luke was finally getting his chance by going to the University of Oregon.

5 Gloria Delgado-Pritchett Became An Entrepreneur

Gloria and Claire were in a similar position. Gloria got pregnant with Manny as a young woman and put all her dreams on hold so she could create a better life for him. Once she married Jay, she was comfortable being the stay-at-home wife, taking care of the family. But as time marched on, Gloria wanted more. She needed an identity.

She started her own family hot sauce business, which did well at first. Having a business fulfilled Gloria and she felt more respected by her peers. But Gloria needed more. By the final season, Gloria started working under Phil and became a promising realtor.

4 Jay Pritchett Finally Retired And Let Go Control

Long-time fans never thought they’d see the day when Jay Pritchett stopped working entirely and focused his efforts on being a stay-at-home dad. Who would have thought! When Jay realized he was ready for retirement and gave the company to Claire, he eventually realized he was too bored at home to be retired. He eventually started helping Claire here and there to fulfill his time. But the biggest monumental moment for Jay was when he put his hopes and dreams aside and supported Gloria. Jay is a major control freak and wasn’t the most attentive father. Seeing him release control and want to spend time with his youngest son Joe was huge.

3 Manny Delgado-Pritchett Finally Released From His Mother’s Embrace

Manny is the ultimate mama’s boy. (As much as he hated being called a mama’s boy, it’s true.) He and his mother were all each other had before they met Jay. Due to them relying heavily on one another, Manny found it difficult to leave his mother’s embrace. Being near her was comfortable for him, but he needed to grow. Deciding to go away to college was a big move for Manny. It proved that he was ready to become a man and that he was ready for the unknown. We see this again in the final season when Manny agrees to leave his comfort zone to travel the world with his biological dad.

2 Mitchell Pritchett Started Doing What Made Him Happy

Mitchell started out the series as an environmental lawyer — he even won an award for his work. But over time, Mitchell realized he wasn’t happy at work. After doing some pro-bono work for Gloria, Mitchell was born again. He found a love representing those who needed him in court, so he switched his focus. He started working at the Center for Justice and started loving work again.

It’s frightening for these characters to give up their normal day-to-day lives for something new, but Mitchell proves you won’t grow without making changes. Aside from work, deciding on adopting a second child was also a huge moment for Mitch and Cam.

1 Cameron Tucker Got The Job Of His Dreams

Similar to Claire, Cameron was a stay-at-home dad when Lily was born. He loved being home with her and teaching her about the arts. But as Lily grew, Mitchell began to pressure Cameron about going back to work. Not only could they use the money, but Cam was slowly spiraling. He luckily found a job as a sub for the music department at the kids’ school, which led to a high school football job. But the real kicker was when Cam’s hard work finally paid off. In the 11th season, Cameron was finally offered his dream job: a college coaching job.
