Hello Again! :)

Hi, so I am finally able to post pictures of what I got for Christmas! I had to wait till I got my new camera that my uncle gave me on Sunday and then I was busy yesterday so I am finally doing it! :) I got the camera because my other one was acting up and everything was neon and looking at the screen it was all purpley and then after taking a picture it would be super blurry, so yeah annoying, and my uncle had an extra camera so he gave it to me! So now I can take pictures again! :D So here is what I got for Christmas! :)

I'm going to do a outfit a day this week. Yes, even though it's already Tuesday ;). I'm doing it to show the clothing I got for Christmas. So today's outfit is the outfit above taken by my little sister Rosebud. 

Sweater is from Kohl's

Tank top from a thrift store

Skirt is from Kohl's(I think)

The sweater is a Christmas present in a roundabout way. The shirt I had originally gotten from my grandparents was a plaid pink, purple and blue shirt but it was too small so we had to return it yesterday and then they didn't have one if my size so I was able to pick something else out :) So technically it replaces a Christmas present hehe. :) Well I hope you enjoyed the post! I'll be back tomorrow with another outfit. :)

Here is the photo that I'm entering in fellow blogger, Brooke's Christmas Photo Contest. i hope you like it. I did edit it a tiny bit. I basically just adjusted it so it looked slightly more natural and then softened it up.

Guys! Guys!!

In just one week I get to wear my awesomely beautiful Christmas dress! AHH!! :D I'm soooo happy! I've been dying to wear since I got it for my birthday last month! Oh my gosh! I love it :D

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo :P it makes it hard to see the top of the dress especially because it's black but the top has two pieces that cross over in front and then the waist band is wide and at the sides it's like scrunchy. Trust me it looks better in real life lol ;) But I love it! and I can't wait to wear it!! :D :D

You must just take 3 minutes and 29 seconds(to be exact) 

out of your time to listen to this awesome song!! Trust me I don't demand you to like it but if you do! GO YOU!! :D lol. I hope you enjoy it. 

Also :)

You must just take 4 minutes and 28 seconds

Out of your time again to listen to this very worthwhile song! It's a wonderful song about how God's will always remain for you no matter what happens! :) Enjoy! And once again I don't demand you to like it but if you do! GO YOU!! :D 

I really hoped you enjoyed listening to it! and if you didn't take a total of  7 minutes and 54 seconds out of your day then DO IT NOW!! :D ;) lol *giggles*

Random Post

Hey y'all! So today's post is basically just a random post but hey random posts are awesome. So today my younger siblings and I went out to play in the snow. Lots of fun! ;) We came up with names for ourselves. I was Brookelyn Cat, I'm not sure what my younger brother's name. I don't think he ever came up with one :P ;). My younger sister's name was Lisa Amelia Smith because her "parents" for this game were Matt Smith and Karen Gillan ;) and my little brother's name for the game was Justin Beaver. His dad was supposed to be Justin Bieber. Lol, no I don't listen to Justin Bieber but we made my brother use that name because of a joke my sister made up yesterday.

Anyways, when we came in I heated up some water so we could have some hot chocolate! :D It was yummy but I think I put it too much powder because it was thick and kind of gross at the bottom :P oh well. When we had come in we decided to watch a movie and my younger brother was like "I say let's wear whatever you want movie time!" and so well all dressed in random outfits. All pieces of clothing found in either our own closets the scarf bin or the coat closet. Here is the results:

First version of his costume

First version of his costume

Gosh can't really say much about this one. It's sooo not her ;) lol well it is
but she looks really different ;)

Second version. Scottish basketball player!

Second version. He told me to say he couldn't decide
which tie to wear lol.

Whoa! My face looks huge!! :P 

Before the movie

During the movie
We watched Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas. :D 

Soo intent on not missing a single moment lol ;) (yes he was
wearing his pajama shirt but it was part of his costume lol)

Snow!

Well, I am finally posting pictures of our snowy yard. I've been meaning to do this for a few days now since it first snowed on Sunday! and today's Thursday! :P Well anyways here are a few pictures of the yard from my view when I do school. I do school in my bedroom. :) They aren't the best quality of pictures but hey it was through the window! lol ;)

I Saw Frozen!!(possibly spoilers :P)

I got to see the movie "Frozen" today!! It was sooo awesome!! :D I really enjoyed it. It was hilarious, sweet, happy, sad, epic, wonderful, and sooo totally amazing!! :D I'm sooo glad that this song was the credit song :D I just love Demi Lovato singing it! :D, I do like both versions very well though. I did want to take a picture in front of the poster outside the theater but by the time I got out I forgot :P

 I really liked their sister relationship is soo sweet! I'm really really glad on how Anna was restored(brought back to life; whatever :P) I do like romantic movies(not to much romance though ;)) but I am not disappointed or upset at all when they don't have a happily ever after/I love you/brought back to life scene :D So I am very pleased with what they did. I did enjoy and like the parts with Kristoff and Anna. I thought it was very sweet and I'm very glad they ended up together. I didn't think Anna was good Hans. Nope, not at all. But the song with Hans and Anna was very cute too. :D Olaf! I loved him!! He was hilarious!! But Olaf is a completely different topic ;)

I loved the music very much! Very thrilling and gave you a whole new feel to the movie. I loved the songs with Anna and Elsa, or the ones by themselves. Very beautiful. I can't decide which of the two(Anna or Elsa) are my favorite. I think I just like them both evenly! :D Well I have to go. I must leave again. Toodles

Pictures and Pictures!

These two are just random pics I took because I had to "try out" the lipstick my sisters got for a play they are in.

My sister Megan and I were the only ones home tonight so we had a special dinner. Pizza and Ginger Ale :D

trying to take a picture while drinking. The result ^ :P

I finally saw one of my best friends earlier today and so she gave me my birthday present!! 

This is also from her!!!!! AHHHH :D Poor Harry is covered! ;)

My "I am sooo excited I have a One Direction poster and I am way too close to the camera" look! ;)

Poems

Here are two poems I wrote today for a part in the book I am currently writing. I hope you all enjoy them. Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think of them. It would be much appreciated! :)

Poem #1

Only time will tell

How fast my heart

Will heal from this pain

Of unshed tears and love.

Only time will tell

How soon I will talk

Of long forgotten memories

Memories of people

So dear to me.

Only time will fill

This empty void

That once was full

But now is empty

Only time

Only time will tell.

Poem #2

Love is strong

Love is dear

Love is precious

Death takes a toll on love.

It can possibly shatter it.

Ruin it all.

It can rip a hole in your heart.

Time will heal that hole.

It will last forever or a short time.

Death can strengthen love.

Don’t let death cause a divide.

Between lost and living.

You will fall.

A short hard fall or a long slow fall.

Come back up and begin again.

Begin again.

Love again.

Live again.

Once again, I hope y'all enjoy it and please leave a comment! :D

This is such a beautiful song! Enjoy

Like the New Theme?

Hey! How do you all like my new blog theme for the season of Autumn? Oh and also I renamed my blog so it's still the same wonderful place but with a new name! :) I hope you like the new name.

I adore the season of Autumn. One reason why, the name! Autumn!! Me and a best friend of mine have had several conversations about why we love that word! I mean "Fall", do you see the beauty of the season behind that? But then turn to the word "Autumn" I look at that word and behind it I see the beauty of the world, the beauty of God's greatness. I see colorful trees and brown grass and a great big blue sky. I see a world that's so beautiful it's like a glimpse of Heaven. I admit, that most people's yards don't usually look as beautiful as pictures that you find online when you search the word "Fall" or "Autumn", but your yard is still beautiful! Think of those mornings where it's so cold there's fog outside. Fog that hovers close to the ground, fog that is so thick you can hardly see the ground. That's beauty. True Beauty.

Autumn also brings images of Thanksgiving. Images of tables laden with such good. I love pumpkin pie, so much that I used to eat it every year for my birthday. I don't anymore, but it's still really good. Oh! and pecan pie, and apple pie! Such richness of dessert. Thanksgiving is well, a time for thanksgiving! You get to be thankful to have so much food, for friends, for your family. This year I know of one thing that I can be thankful for and that is being able to have so many years with my grandpa who died three weeks ago. He was such a great grandpa. I will miss him, I know everyone will. But, I also know we can all be thankful for having so many memories with him. What will you be thankful for this year? Are you thankful for all of the beauty that surrounds you? Think on it. 

"Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods." ~Psalm 95:2-3

"I always thank God for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in Him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge." ~Corinthians 1:4-5

Happy Halloween!!!

~Aaliyah

Autumn Poetry

A colored world

A deep blue sky

All about are large clusters of leaves

Leaves are falling down below.

I see yellow, green and red

Falling fast and slow.

Some together.

Some by themselves.

A bright chill.

It wraps around me.

I shiver and smile with huge delight.

Autumn, that’s what it’s called.

Colors all around me,

So bright and cheery.

I wrap my cold fingers,

Around a mug of hot cocoa.

I take a sip and feel the warmth envelope me.

Autumn.

Take a look.

Colors all around.

A colored world as bright and cheery as ever.

Best Friends Forever

Best friends for nine years. Oh yeah!

Best friends since May of this year

Best friends for a year and 6 months

Best friends for one and a half years

More Colors!

So, this morning my sister and I got some more rubber bands :D Yes, more ;) I got the same colors. I got 'em 'cause I needed a refill, already, I know ;) My sister got orange, black, white, light blue, dark blue, and a mix bag. So already we've made some more bracelets from the new colors. We made these:

the 4th in the making

The finished 4 :)

As a side note we found this in our garage last week: :o 

COLORS!

So last week some friends of of my younger sister have these kits called Rainbow Looms and tons of little colored rubber bands. So we got to make some bracelets out of them. Well, I think they are super cool, especially 'cause they are soo colorful! :D So, yesterday I got to go to the store and get some of these rubber bands. I got six packages; there is one color in each bag. I chose, pink, purple, red, light blue/teal, green, and yellow.

 These are four of which I've made that are mine. I have made one for Amanda, and for my other sister, Yavi. My younger sister has made one for herself and a few for her friends from my stash of rubber bands.

 The center one in this next picture is the same one as the one closest to my hand above. The other two for two of my best friends, Rachel (from My Drifting Thoughts) and Lydia. The patterns are the same but I switched the colors around. So on Lydia's it goes 1 purple, 2 green, 1 pink and so on, and Rachel's goes 1 pink, 2 purple, 1 green, and on mine it is 1 green, 2 pink, and 1 purple.
