Merry Christmas 2015

A is for Alphabet- how we will tell you about our 2015. (Also, a song Lucy likes to sing)

G is for Graduation- Kris graduated in May with his Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology. We are glad to be done with school!
H is for House- We purchased our first house this July! It was an exciting process and not without some bumps in the road, but we love living in our very own house!

 

 I is for Indianapolis Temple- We were SO excited that the new Indianapolis Temple was completed this year! Our family was able to go see the open house and see all the beautiful craftsmanship
J is for Jumping- Lucy learned to jump this year and does it ALL the time!

 
K is for Kyle- Our happy baby boy! Kyle is (almost) 9 months old and is one of the happiest babies ever. He is always smiling and is very laid back. He likes babbling, EATING, laughing and playing with his sister.
L is for Lucy- Our energetic 2.5 year old. She keeps us on our toes! Lucy loves singing and cuddling and playing with Kyle. She likes to read with Mommy or Daddy and watching The Little Einstein’s.

M is for Malibu x2- At the beginning of the year, we had the misfortune of being involved in two car accidents. I was in an accident in January in our Elantra and totaled the car so we purchased a Chevy Malibu. 2 days later, Kris was in an accident that totaled that car. Fortunately, we were able to find an even better deal on another Malibu. While this was a very stressful time, we were just glad that neither of us were hurt!

N is for Nightly Wake up Calls- With 2 kids 2 and under, we’re up at least once every night.

T is for Tinkerbell- Lucy was Tinkerbell for Halloween in a costume that Amy made.
U is for University- Kris attended Purdue University-Kokomo at the beginning of the year, until he graduated in May.
V is for Visit- Kris’s parents came to visit us in October. It was so fun to see them and have the kids spend time with their grandma and grandpa
W is for Ward- Our new ward (local church congregation) is the Highland Ward. We love our new ward and all the great friends we’ve made!
X is for X-tra Diapers- This year we’ve gone through a plethora of diapers between the 2 kids.
Y is for Yard- One of our favorite parts of having a house is having a great yard to play in!
Z is for Zoo- We got a membership to the Indianapolis Zoo and have been able to visit a few times already. Lucy LOVES it!

 

We have had a very big year with lots of changes: new baby, new house, new cars, new job. We are so thankful for all of our blessings and for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.

Love,

The Cannons
