Happy New Years From John!

Happy New Years! It has been a long year and a good one. First I would like to thank God for being the main purpose in my life and that I am thankful for him guiding me in the right direction. Second I would like to thank Miss. Paige aka my best friend for life, for this wonderful year even though we started out arguing about who will post on the blog and who was doing what on the blog I just want to say thanks Paigey Girl (happy Paige?). And I would like to thank you, our viewers for VIEWING THE BLOG and keeping my hopes up. Thank you very much. Let's make this year bigger and better! Oh with these idea I have running in my head it is going to get even better than it is now! Class of 2012! 




Have a great New Year everyone and make the best of it!

Three More Days Until The New Year!

It is getting closer and closer to New Years, does anybody have any New Year's Resolutions? I have been thinking of mine but, I haven't come up with any concrete ones yet. Well one though would definitely be to finish all of these scenario's before Paige decides to hurt me, sorry Paige :) I was searching the web for some New Years Resolution and came across some pretty weird ones:


1. LEARN USELESS FACTS
2. BECOME A PARTY KING
3 .BACK TO NATURE
4. BREAK TRAFFIC LAWS
5. REPLACE YOUR BAD HABITS WITH OTHER ONES


Thanks for viewing guys and Happy New Year!





Have a wonderful New Year!
Always,
John and Paige

Merry Christmas! Today remember most of all to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday, thank God for waking you up to see this beautiful, wonderful day and think of all the best things you have, be proud of who you are and what you own. And the greatest thing you can remember today --- is to be grateful for the people you have around you that love you.

This Is Just A Follow Up To Yesterday :)

So since you guys seemed to like my Christmas note I thought I would do a quick follow up with a couple of videos. The first one is called Twas The Night Before Christmas and I wrote yesterday that everybody has to hear this one at least once and so, I thought I would provide you with a video of Santa ;) himself reading the book and the second one is a sing along with The Santa Buddies! I know oh so cute!




Merry Christmas!

Love, 
Paige

P.S. John if you say anything about Santa Claus and David I'm going to hurt you :)

Hey guys! Just a little note about Christmas :)

So we have really slacked off with the story as of late and we really want to apologize for that. We can't say sorry enough but, to thank you guys I thought I would write a little note about some of my Christmas traditions and some of my favorite Christmas reads and watches :)


Traditions
1) On Christmas Eve I always open one present just before I go to bed. I don't really know how it got started but, I have been doing it for as long as I can remember. I'm not really sure if it even holds any significance but, it's something me and my mommy have always done.
2) On Christmas morning we of course get up really, really insanely early to open all of our presents and then we make a huge Christmas dinner which consists of a million different things but, the two things we always have for every Christmas dinner is a ham and cranberry sauce. My mom just says that Christmas isn't Christmas without a ham and I have to admit that if I got stranded on a deserted island, as long as I had cranberry sauce and can opener to open the cranberry sauce with I would be good. I'm a cranberry sauce addict. I love the taste and something about the fruity and sweet taste of cranberry sauce just says Thanksgiving and Christmas (Sorry didn't mean to give you almost a whole paragraph about cranberry sauce!).
3) We always, always, always remember the true meaning of Christmas. That our savior Jesus Christ was born on this day and we are celebrating his life (We don't want to offend anyone with our religious beliefs so, sorry if we do.)

Christmas Books
1) The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck (This is an amazing story especially for older kids who can sit down and listen and not get bored and lose focus.)
2) A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (Such an amazing author. Plus a classic!)
3) How Grinch Stole Christmas by who else? Dr. Seuss!!! (What else can I say except Dr. Seuss! This is guy that you will enjoy from ages one to 99.)
4) The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson (Both of these are really good books especially for the I'm too cool for Santa Claus bunch. I enjoyed both of these books right about that time in my life.)
5) The Night Before Christmas by Charles Dickens (This is a must for every household no matter what age you are. I try to read it at least once right before Christmas and I am never disappointed.)


Christmas Movies 
1) A Charlie Brown Christmas (I'm not going to say anything except --- A Charlie Brown Christmas!)
2) Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) (This was one of the best movies of it's time and personally I find this movie to be very helpful for kids who get teased a lot. It can give them a lot of hope for the future.)
3) Elf (I think this movie will be considered a classic like A Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer in about 20 years. It's really amazing that a simple theater movie turned out to be such an amazing hit with young children.)
4) The Polar Express and The Grinch Stole Christmas (Read my descriptions above for the book versions of these and the description applies all the same here. I saw The Polar Express at the movie theater and it's just magical.)
5) It's A Wonderful Life (This is more of an adult movie but, it's my personal favorite Christmas movie and I think Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed were some of the best actors of their time and I'm actually sad they did not get to do more work like this because, they would have been the present day Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I admire them a lot.) 


Merry Christmas!
Love,
Paige
