Christmas at {THE MARTITZ HOUSE}

December is in full swing and our house is sure cozy for Christmas! I can't get enough of it! This time last year, we were just getting settled in our new house, so it was fun to go all out this year!

Our Christmas cards have been mailed out, but if you didn't get one, we still would like to share it with you! Here is our Christmas card and poem for 2015 :)

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Christmas time has come again;
To reminisce of Christ’s birth, and deck the halls with family and friends.
We must have blinked, this year has come and gone;
So many memories and milestones to recap on.
Our life revolves around our princess, little miss Adalynn Claire;
Her smile is contagious and she always spreads happiness everywhere.
She has quite the little sassy personality and is always on the go;
She keeps us busy for sure, and friends & family love her so.
19 months has gone way too fast and she still is growing like a weed;
Naturally curly hair, bright blue eyes, and super tall for her age guaranteed.
She loves outside, dancing, books, and especially Elmo;
Bike rides, animals, talking non-stop, and always saying “hello.”
Jordan has been nothing but on-the-go, Ecolab has had a busy year;
He even got a new company car in June and with hard work, new prospects always seem to appear.
With so many accounts already, on top of extra ones added too;
He is pushing hard to make his budget goal and we all know he will come through.
This summer we pretty much lived at the water park, the best place to beat the heat;
Adalynn is quite the little fish, and she thought the kiddie fountains were pretty sweet.
Gone more than we were home, it was quite the crazy summer;
We couldn’t wait to take Adalynn to the beach, so we flew to California and had the best time ever.
Sand was in every crevice and we won’t mention the million pictures I took;
We also met up with several friends, it was definitely a trip for the books.
Summer didn’t stop there, boating season kept us busy;
Can you tell we are water people?  Adalynn even loved to tube, really?!
We continued to soak up the warm weather doing picnics and bike rides;
Adalynn loves the park, swings, and let’s not forget the slides.
She is such a fun age, we wanted to do it all;
The tans will fade, but the memories will always be there to recall.
Elise is quite busy at home with Adalynn, and doing everything and in between;
Photography, Graphic Design, blogging, and occasionally the scrapbook scene.
She took on a new project recently, and it is finally now complete;
Our upstairs bonus room turned into a fun playroom and Adalynn thinks it’s quite a treat.
We look forward to gathering with family during this special holiday season;
Once you get a little older, you recognize and cherish the real reason.
Family and memories are what matters most, It really is as simple as that;
All because Christ was born, his example is what we always strive to look at.
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all of you we love,
Please keep in touch, and have the best 2016 you can think of!

{Love,}
Jordan, Elise, & Adalynn

And here are our some snapshots after we got all our decorations out! Adalynn has had a ball and LOVES the tree! She also goes over to our nativity on our side table and points and says, "Jesus!!" Such a fun age!














Sure love having the tree and lights on all day! Adalynn loves to snuggle by the tree before bed too :)

Merry Christmas to you and your family! We love you all!

Love, Jordan & Elise
