Millers finally celebrate Christmas

A Christmas get-together had to wait for the families of Pam and Chris Miller. Pam's weekend-intensive schedule as a Strib night metro editor, and then the changing fortunes and schedules of those crazy madcap Minnesota Vikings, who control Chris' work schedule, delayed things a while. But on Wednesday night, Pam, Noah and the Millers Seven finally got together to celebrate Christmas 2010. A few snapshots:

With No. 1 son Noah, 21. He'll graduate from the University of Minnesota this coming spring.

Ditto.

Noah and Hannah awaited the dessert, a delectable chocolate ganache made by Mary. Elizabeth with her parents, Mary and Chris. Radiant Moriah with some pretty wild mittens.

Noah with some Catholic-oriented books from Auntie Mary. They'll find a place in his philosophy book collection. Hannah, 17, got a subscription to Seventeen magazine. Sheesh, she's prettier and smarter by far than any of their models, don't you think? Princessa Hannah de Banana. Me by tree. I got a GPS for my car from my nieces, who seem to think I might get lost. Ha ha! When does that ever happen? Oh wait -- last week -- with said nieces in the car. Never mind. Thanks, nieces! AvaMarie, 2, got a magic wand. Watch out, world!
