Merry Christmas from our Crew of Mountain Millers!
Our Christmas Letter:
High points of 2021 by Season:
Winter 2021:
We celebrated the New Year in St. Louis with Chris’ family where Howard and Caroline turned 5. Tracey turned 7 later that month marked by an outdoor horse trolley party with friends.
Spring 2021:
After so much time at home in 2020, we surprised our children with a Spring Break road trip to visit Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Another surprise on the trip was 4 nights at Great Wolf Lodge in Arizona - What Fun! In May, we welcomed our sixth child, a boy, Brady Christopher Miller. Our crew was thrilled to even up our family with 3 girls and 3 boys (our own Brady Bunch).
Summer 2021:
In June and July the road trips continued as we drove through a total of 13 states for some family adventures. Points of interest included Sanden Family Fun with Brooke’s family in Washington State, Noah’s Ark in Kentucky with some Miller cousins, Michigan fishing, and a Chuckwagon dinner in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We’re doing our best to pass the travel bug on to our children.
Autumn 2021:
Back to school for us included Howard and Caroline starting kindergarten at the same school where Tracey started 2nd grade, and Chris teaches. Brooke went back to in-person teaching so Lee Lee and Hunter began school at a Christian preschool east of Rifle, and Brady started spending a few days a week with a nanny in Rifle. Chris began a part-time job at a restaurant in Silt and he’s enjoying his new work and coworkers. October brought us a restful family weekend in Vail before Addallee’s 4th Birthday (a bowling party with friends), Halloween, and Hunter’s 2nd Birthday in November. Christmas came early when we purchased a 2016 camper that sleeps 8 and Chris and our big kids have already begun family mountain camping adventures. (Brady and I will hold off joining them until he can sit up on his own.)
End of 2021:
Our Holiday season has begun with visits from family and enjoyable seasonal activities for all. We love this time of year and feel truly blessed to be able to spend time with our loved ones and make memories together.
