    I decided to re-watch Andrea's Christmas videos. They bring me comfort even though I only know Andrea through UA-cam she touched my life and I truly miss her. I love hearing her soft voice but also how organized she was and how well thought out her Christmas plans were. I also enjoy seeing the children. She was always so patient and kind with her family and everyone. She was taken too soon from her family and all of us that watched her channel. ❤❤

      Exactly how I feel and doing the same as you 1 year later. What a wonderful legacy she made for herself.

      I just found this channel and saw the sad news, heart breaking. She was a great mother and wife. The children will be good and strong from her love and their father's.

    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video and many others of Andreas. A wonderful example to me of a wife, mamma and keeper of the home ❤️

    It's so sweet how each child gets to pick what they want for the Christmas festivities. I don't know how she was always so calm with the kids hanging off the walls and standing on the chairs LOL.

    I can't thank you enough for lending me a bit of your Christmas. I'm working nights shifts tonight, so although I've already celebrated with family, now I'm back home alone and was feeling a bit lonely. Truly feel that the timing of this video was a blessing of the spirit.

      Tamsin Merry Christmas! I'm missing my mama. This is the 15th Christmas,but it never gets easier. As with me (a though I have many health problems)be thankful for the family you have and your health. Wishing you & yours a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    I love how both sides of the family have so much to do with each other, like Andrea's sister bringing Tom's mom a present. I love that. A lot of my inlaws are like that. I'm close with and know all of my sister in laws family, same way with my sister's first husbands family. We all blended so nicely. You just don't see that much these days.

  • @Nance-th5hw
    @Nance-th5hw 5 років тому +14

    I have been watching the videos non stop for days. I can't help tearing up watching them. I'm so sorry Tom and the children. I can't imagine what you all must be going through 😰love you Andrea.

    Thanks so much for this nice long video and for sharing your family's fun and love with us. I don't have any children and, while I certainly love and enjoy my husband and extended family, it's really nice to feel like a part of something bigger than my quiet house and remote, relatively isolated location. I smiled all the way through watching this. I hope you smiled just as much while you made it. :-)

    Thomas was so sweet explaining the name draw to Solomon. He's going to be a great daddy one day.
    Aww Look at Claudia go!
    I love how the kids are so involved with all the gift giving. We all know it's easier to just do it ourselves but oh my goodness, the memories for the kids, the experience of decision making, and just plain having fun!
    Merry Christmas , Mills family! I look forward to the rest of your Christmas vlogs.

    I'm so impressed by how you manage to rear so many good kids, but seeing you manage that on top of such a busy season is really something else! Also, Monday Magic made me laugh, hopefully my kids will want to do things like that when they're older.

    I don't have a large family. We are a family of 5. I also work full time. So my mind is in a million directions. My question for you, how are you always so prepared? I always find myself running to walmart for this this this at last minute. I personallt would like life to slow down and myself be more focused and prepared for holidays, baking, cooking, birthdays. I feel like me being not prepared takes alot of thr enjoyment away. Any tips and tricks you can share. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing your life with us.

But I was blessed with 1 boy who is 30, 2 girls, 1 is 21, and my baby is 18. We also have 2 grandchildren so far. My 21 year old is engaged, so we should have more in the future. God Bless and have a great day!!!

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  8 років тому +18

      Yes, she was actually in this video. (Tom was married briefly right out of high school. His wife left him and it was quite traumatic. When his parents decided to leave California and come to Wyoming he felt like he wanted a new start and came with them. That's when we met. Tom's aunt and uncle raised his daughter, Mileena, and she and Aunt Suzie spent the night with us while they were visiting from California.) When we were cutting out snowflakes she was on the couch. (She didn't feel like making snowflakes.) That sections starts at 57:33.

      I think some of them got their colors. Eden got pink and her color is yellow. Solomon got green which is his color. I can't remember what color I gave the other little girls at the moment.
