For those of you who aren’t on my Christmas Card mailing list, I thought I’d post my card for you here.

Mills’ Family Top 10 of 2011

#10-Joseph playing softball on a team with his brother

#9-Olivia winning a lunch date with her Kindergarten teacher and getting to ride in her teacher’s car and visit her teacher’s house…even better than with a celebrity!

#8-Austin starting 3^rd grade, Olivia starting 1^st grade, and Julia starting another year of preschool…even better than that…three wonderful reports from their teachers at parent/teacher conferences

#7-Janna becoming the newest kindergarten teacher at Calvin Smith Elementary…can we say, “Yay!” for group health insurance!?!

#6-Joseph, Olivia, and Austin’s many ski trips to Snowbird…Utah really does have the greatest snow on earth!

#5-Janna and Joseph celebrating 15 years of marriage!

#4-Olivia and Julia dancing their little hearts out in their spring concert

#3-Austin playing the position of Center for his Gremmie football team and his team placing second in their division

#2-Janna running in and finishing the Salt Lake City Marathon…time to complete:  5 hours, 14 minutes…thus confirming that running really does suck!

#1-Our family vacation to Doheny State Beach, that included Knott’s Berry Farm, Disneyland, Sea World, and Laguna Beach tide pools

Sending our love and best wishes this holiday season!

Love,

Joseph, Janna, Austin, Olivia, & Julia

I hope to get more up on my blog this month after Julia’s next clinic visit.  She will be doing a test run of Cayston this month and if all goes well, she’ll start on January 27th.  Hope all is well!
