Christmas With the Janis Family

Cody and I got spoiled this Christmas. We got to fly down to Texas (he has never been) and spend a week and a half with the whole Brandon Janis family. We stayed with Kylee and Ryan the whole time which was really nice because we got to know Eden and Alex much better. I love those kids so much! We got to spend a lot of time with the Dorias as well and Staussen. We have some of the most awesome nephews and niece.

As tradition when we are all together, we made our second family Christmas video. The first video was just Mom and Dad, all the kids and two in-laws. This video had Mom and Dad, all the kids, three in-laws and 3 grand babies. It was so awesome. And we couldn't have done it without my amazing sister Auna Doria. Here is the video:



This was all done on Christmas day.

This was Cody and I's first Christmas together as a married couple. It was the best Christmas as a married couple as well. My favorite surprise was the completion of our honeymoon video from 8 months ago. When we went on our honeymoon we intended to make a movie out of a bunch of footage we took, but we got so busy and never got around to it. On Christmas morning cody and I watched it together and it was even better than I imagined. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I've every received. Here is our honeymoon video.




Cody also got me a garmin so I can track my runs more efficiently. I LOVE it! It is so easy to see all of the basic things I want to see when I am running. It has time, distance, and pace. You can also switch the page to see the time and other cool things. He also got me a macro camera lens. It's just this little lens on a rubber band that you put around your phone on your camera and it takes really really close up pictures. It is awesome.

This year for Christmas we did sibling gifts and Auna and Ron did something so thoughtful for us. This is the other most thoughtful gift I've ever received. They put together 10 dates with all supplies included. It is seriously so cool! I will be posting them as we do them. I am so filled with love and gratitude for the amazing family I have and how blessed we have been.
