A Large Family Christmas... the First One for Baby Hannah!

In this video, it's Christmas day at the Mills house! The 11 of us spend the morning opening gifts and then everyone pitches in to finish up our Christmas feast. Papa Gary, Aunt Bethany, Grandma Kitty and Hadria come over to enjoy Christmas dinner with us. (Uncle Jerry and Aunt Suzie stopped by in the morning and were there when I opened my Level 9 gift from Tom.) In the evening, we relaxed and the kids enjoyed trying all of their new things.
It was baby Hannah's first Christmas. She got to enjoy some Christmas candy, a dinner roll, playing with her new toys and almost got hit with a flying cardboard box.

Re-watching these past videos when times were carefree and happier. In mourning beautiful Andrea, it pains me that we will not see her smiling face and the joy her children brought her. Rest in Peace, sweet Andrea and God bless the Mills family.

[@mommabear8673]

Me too.. I have watched several videos and it really brings things in prospective how fast things can change and we are never promised our next breathe.

[@jeanmarcks6269]

Momma Bear so true! I’m still in shock! Sad too and been watching videos too!

[@marlenebranom]

She looked so at peace after she passed no more crying out in pain right? What a sweet women who gave all and was happy to do so!! I was a lot like her with my parenting I didn't home school R.N.P sweet sweet sister!!! It won't be long before we all see our loved ones again

[@candicejaeci]

This is so beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time

[@athomewiththecrazies]

I’m so sad she’s gone. Those poor babies. I find it crazy that on her last Christmas she gave each child a gift that will help them in life. God has a way of making us say goodbye without us even knowing.

[@speakofhisgrace]

They will be together again as true believers. Jesus is faithful. He defeated death.its finished. We are in the last second s of Grace. His second coming is around the corner and his divine everlasting kingdom comes. Its true and in the kjv bible. God bless you all endlessly

[@denniemiller2177]

Yea that's true

[@denniemiller2177]

Yea it's awful she's gone

[@shaybatty3785]

Teary watching this. Such beautiful children. They will treasure those backpacks made with love forever. So sad they no longer have their precious Mother. Praying for you all at this difficult time. She was a beautiful lady and loved her family so well.

[@marlenebranom]

The parents raised them to be respectful and loving!! This makes me want to cry she would be my bestie if I lived by her!!

[@margarethewish4502]

Asha and Judah seem to be taking Andreas death so hard I miss their happy faces and smiles may God help them through this hard time Biggs hugs to all the mills family

[@barbarahartlett5400]

She put so much thought into each child's gift to make it so special.its almost like she knew.very special Xmas.

[@gaynellray548]

Never watched her before she passed!! Never saw her vlog...But I have been catching up...She showed such a kind spirit....I can see her in ALL of her babies!!! Praying for you and your family!! God's blessings to you all...

[@cynthiacollins1644]

I never watched either of even heard of her until Noel from Noel's big family asked for prayer for her in August. Since then, I have watched so many of her videos and the family,,,afterwards. I'll tell you, I just love this family...

[@beam8250]

Last Christmas with their beautiful mamma ❤️. Such precious memories to treasure for all the years to come. Andrea was so thoughtful. Each gift perfectly thought out. May she rest in heaven, and God bless her sweet children 🙏❣️

[@shannoncleveland9333]

Oh the sweet smile on Eden's face when she opens the present from her mom and dad....so special..💓

[@francesgrech8930]

When you watch this awesome woman one thing comes to my mind... she`s unique! How many out there, me included, has all those good qualities in her to raise her family! In these video i could see she thought of everything. All kids well behaved. These videos are worth more than all the gold in this world, mum would be in their lives forever! Tom has all the praise too cos they made an awesome couple!

[@reesteack186]

This is a beautiful video of what a great mother Andrea was. Everything looks so good the kids outfits the presents and the food. RIP Andrea.

[@Elle-R-123]

Can't believe that months later this wonderful mother would be taken from her family. This will be my first christmas without my 2 beautiful sisters and watching this has made me wish I had videos of my sisters to watch. God bless your beautiful family.xx

[@bernimac8370]

What a beautiful legacy, andrea left behind, her wonderful husband amazing children, and joy to everyone that watches her vlogs I would rather watch these than watch t.v she put so much thought into everything she did.and was very talented someone should write a book about her and all that she did you are so missed andrea, a beautiful lady, rest in peace xx

[@marlenebranom]

She made some neat stuff I have never seen homemade backpacks and they look so nice

[@hollya5039]

Andrea is such a beautiful soul. Thank you God for blessing us with her on this earth.

[@justelleslife507]

This is such a treasure for years to come! Especially for Hannah since she was just a baby, Andrea was just too good for this earth, Heavenly Father wanted His daughter back, how I wish I could've met her, to have many children, yet she stayed calm, kind, loving & sweet!

[@kakelinga]

Re-watching and feeling blue. Baby Hannah's only Christmas with her mother. You can just feel the love they all have for each other and how happy they all are.

[@doloresleyva8810]

Christmas in July !! Whos watching in 2020! Because she left us such wonderful videos. Red on dad and red on boys &&& red dresses and of course Andrea!!!

[@socogirl1980]

The thought, time and attention to detail Andrea put into each child’s gift is so heartwarming. Truly an amazing Mother ❤️

[@langsircoklat]

OMG... Justus is so polite

[@davidwilson7388]

He has his mother's smile

[@darlene6670]

Burning tears knowing what they do not know on this day, the last Christmas you will have with your precious children, that they don't know that in years to come their hearts will ache for you on this special day, I know, my momma is always on my mind on Christmas Day I miss her so, and I am a grown woman.

[@regenerated4life]

Thomas' reaction to the slow cooker is priceless... may Yahweh bless him.

[@marilynryan7822]

I have raised five children & never have my Christmas mornings been as calm as this. This family is so blessed to have had such a loving and thoughtful mother & father.What precious gifts these children are.Blessings to you all at this time🦋🙏🏻

[@rubyflores8672]

I miss Andrea so very much... she was such an inspiration to me ... the type I mother I want to be ❤ my you rest in peace.... and i will forever pray your your childrens well being ... may God almighty give them love ..strength and comfort these upcoming holidays....first without their beloved mother 💔... I'm so very Proud of you Tom!!! You are not alone...andrea will forever be with you watching over her sweet babies ...we all love you and we're praying for you....keep up the great work!! ❤❤❤❤

[@SabriinaMcLean]

Justus was seriously so grateful what a sweetheart

[@carolehastings1902]

I sadly only came to this channel because Holly from the proper pineapple did a video saying how sad it was for you to lose Andrea but I have watched quite a few of your previous podcasts and I’ve seen how big a role as wife and mother Andrea was. I really feel for you all and I will keep you in my prayers, it just breaks my heart such a beautiful family losing the very heart of you all. I lost my Dad 4 years ago and I now look after Mum who’s has Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia but my Dad has left such a huge hole in our lives so I have an idea what your all going through. If I can give you any words of comfort it would be keep your eyes and ears open and Andrea will send you signs that she is with you all and still watching over you all, just be open. God bless you and comfort you and R.I.P. Andrea and may the perpetual light shine upon you. Xxx

[@debrapenney4281]

Carole Hastings- so sorry for you loss of your dad- but what a sweet note you wrote to the Mills- Blessings to you in 2020.

[@NudgingCharlie13]

Everyone got the perfect gifts. The bibles are lovely!

[@Autumn.93]

This was so wholesome to watch. I loved seeing everyone. They were all so thankful and excited. I can tell how much thought went into everyone's gifts. Andrea was such a warm and beautiful light 🕯️ God bless. ❤️

[@jillygirl2024]

WHAT A HUSBAND TO REMEMBER & LOCATE SOMETHING SO SPECIAL AS THE SODA YOU DRANK AS A CHILD - Way to go, Tom ! !

[@Cyndi59]

What a beautiful family. Tom, you and Andrea have done a wonderful job with raising your children. I enjoyed watching everyone loving each other. No arguing and so respectful. When I heard Tom say there is always next year it stung my heart. These babies are going to cherish all these videos. Loved the back packs. Andrea had so many talents. Hugs from South Carolina to your family in the days and years to come.

[@nanapam1267]

I think that was Uncle Jerry that said that but it hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s a good thing that they did not know the future. They were able to enjoy their time together with no worries. ❤

[@loristewart3086]

The love for her family was so apparent in this video! She chose the perfect gift for each child because she knew them so well. She was an amazing mother and a godly woman. I feel blessed that I was able to see a glimpse into her life! What an example she was!!

[@NudgingCharlie13]

Those backpacks are amazing! I love them. What special keepsakes! Love the crocheted candy stockings too.

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I don't think I have ever seen a more perfect Christmas. The thought and love that went into every gift! I am so desperately sorry that Andrea is now longer with you. Rest softly xxx

[@MustangSally2.0]

Watching again. I think I've watched this 100 times. You are missed sweet Andrea.

[@heavenrivers8818]

When Claudia says "I hate the letters" I loose it....she must keep y'all laughing all the time! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@janicehaney1771]

God bless you all,Aundrea was such a beautiful person! Anyone can tell that for sure❤️🙏

[@carswellbic]

Love the way Hannah fits right in. Lovely. Warms my heart.

[@lauramilton9785]

Oh how I miss you Andrea.I miss the care and time you put into your special tree.Victorian beauty,feminine and sentimental.I do not see all your ornaments displayed anymore and it hurts my heart.Your calm,sweet spirit,organization,attention to detail is missed.I love you.❣️🎄🌹

[@ML-sy3bn]

I never knew about this family's channel until Andrea had already passed. This Christmas video is so beautiful. It's like the family Christmas movie you wish someone would make yet it's never how you picture it. This is it. A beautiful family celebrating with so much respect and love for one another. Simple yet such thoughtful gifts. This is what it's all about. Excuse me while I go and cry.

[@bonitajordan6825]

I’m also re- watching these beautiful videos with tears in my eyes. God bless the Mills family. Much love. 🥰♥️🥰

[@donnasparks8189]

Watching the videos after Andrea's passing is so hard. Even though I know this family will go on and do the best they can, it's heartwrenching knowing what they will miss and why. You are all in my heart 💓

[@hilda1170]

This is the most special memory for this beautiful family.❤️

[@angelbasham6631]

These videos will be a treasure for your children what a blessing

[@carriemoore4380]

I'm watching this the last day of November 2019.. The memories are priceless 💕💕 they will treasure their backpacks forever, Andrea was such a beautiful soul.. I wish Tom and the family strength and blessings this holiday season..God bless everyone..

[@louisepetrilli6130]

To watch so much happiness. And that little baby girl that will never see her mom again makes me want to cry 😭

[@ddoz11]

Who would have thought this would be Hannahs first Christmas and mama bears last with her beautiful family?! God! He makes ALL good out of even the darkest of times. How precious these memories will be for Andreas family. Something sweet Hannah will cherish as she grows. And many of us watching these videos be reminded never take our loved ones for granted always giving thanks unto the Lord. 🙏🙏💖❤💚

[@ddoz11]

@cherry blossom Very simple...because we live in a fallen WORLD and asking God why this or that is futile. it is inevitable for us ALL including you that we will pass away from this life BUT for us believers it is truly only the beginning of our true journey that is to live for eternal with our good Lord JESUS! And this is what Andreas family know too...because they are believers of CHRIST and are unashamed of their faith which brings them an absolute peace knowing she along with their son Cyrus is now in the hands of the ALMIGHTY. Regardless @cherryblossom I am no better than you as a sinner or anyone else for that matter except for one thing....I have a saviour! Do you? Remember JESUS is our Lord and savior! You have to choose...Andrea and her whole family chose CHRIST! #THANKYOUJESUS 🙏🙏🙏💙💚❤

[@california_grown_carissa216]

I teared up when Tom said “ always next year “ 😢 ❤️❤️

[@caroldeaton619]

Cannot believe she only had a few months to live after Christmas so happy a full life she was. May you rest in peace Andrea.

[@MacT4972]

Such a REMARKABLE family. Sending love and prayers to you all! May Andrea Rest In Peace and may the Lord watch and protect you all.

[@wheezer2922]

Giving at Christmas has taken on a whole new meaning for me. Bless you, all.

[@salliedesilvav1559]

Andrea Mills... the proverbs 31 woman... I just rewatch her so often... 💚💚💚

[@liddlekiddle1962]

I wish that I had grown up in such a loving family. Appreciative of what they received for Jesus' birthday and the smiles on their faces are genuine. They really remind me of the Waltons in this video. Prayers to Tom and the children - knowing that they will all see Andrea again in heaven. May God bless this family always.

[@jillygirl2024]

I love how Thomas is helping Hannah - she looks so cute all dressed up & sitting up like a big girl Those backpacks were gorgeous ! And the Princess Cape, Wings & Tutus were great gifts And, Dolly's gift was a real hit !

[@shelleybean1112]

Andrea was such a blessing to this world I hope that because of her the next time anyone sees a pure hearted person they wont take them for granted we'r not blessed by them often and they are too good for this world

[@debbieomi]

I think those backpacks were the hit of the day! Solly looks so dapper in his vest and bow tie. What A special day and thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@reclaimedtreasures5749]

Yes. I was thinking what a great job Andrea did on those backpacks!

[@HashtagAPI8]

Claudia is still so small here but she has a huge personality, can't wait to watch her as she gets older.How I love this family and I will miss seeing Andrea and hearing her voice. Love from Denmark

[@angelarascoe6526]

Rewatching these older videos 😓 it’s unimaginable the lose this beautiful family has endured. Tom you are doing an amazing job. These videos will be treasures for the kids.

[@marlenebranom]

I keep going through the videos and I forget the ones I have watched and rewatched them lol my memory takes a break once and a while lol I love how your kids don't beg for something and are so thankful for all they got. My granddaughter is 4 and she hugs every gift and never complain.

[@marlenebranom]

makes me tear up. Andrea was so giving she let everyone go first and even eating she let everyone eat before she opens hers I tear up she is a special Lady!! I'm not saying was because she is still living just not hear. She was a true definition of a christen women she did it all she is very gifted.

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Solly looks great in his waistcoat. Great video. I’m glad you don’t do Father Christmas & that the children thank you & each other for the pressies. I love how humble your children are. x

[@ginathompson6845]

This is absolutely precious. I recently joined your channel. I’m watching the videos she recorded so I can get to know her. Precious just precious. What a wonderful mom she was.

[@aayakaidubois2571]

Precious Precious Moments for your family to look back on with Love & Pride towards such a Beautiful Mum & Wife.

[@dianabanana9474]

Andrea's homemade gifts are something her children will cherish! The backpacks were gorgeous. It was so nice to hear all the compliments and how proud she was of herself for making them! I've watched this several times and it always brings tears to my eyes. I keep watching her videos as if she is still here! This is one of my favorites! I love the gifts the children received! God Bless!

[@karenrogers2826]
