Happy Easter!

Picture taken on my phone!

Happy Easter everyone!  I hope that everyone has had a great Easter so far, I know I have!  We didn't do anything extremely out of the ordinary for Easter this year, but that's fine with me!  Easter's not about the extravagant things you do, it's about being oh so thankful for Jesus and knowing what love is.  It's about being with family and carrying on traditions that have been in your family for who-knows-how-long.

  So, since this post is rather short so far, I thought I might as well tell you about what I did today!  So, I woke up early to a large amount of candy and some new running clothes, and I was very thankful for that!  :)  Then I went to church with my family as we always do on Easter Sunday, but we had my aunt and uncle with us also, so that was a bit of a change, but a good one.  After church we headed out to go to my grandparent's house like we do every year, as well!  We basically ate way too much, talked a lot, took pictures, laughed, and had an overall very good time!  Oh, and my cousin painted my nails because she got new nail polish for Easter.  XD  Then we came home and now I've been catching up on blogs, videos, and the like while eating the aforementioned candy.

Turquoise and Caicos by Essie, if you were wondering!

  So, that was my Easter!  Very simple, but I really liked it nonetheless.  How was your Easter?

A Post Full of Winky Faces and a TAG!

  Hey y'all!  Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been super busy lately and am still unable to get pictures on my blog, but I promise I'll figure something out, or at least try as hard as I possibly can!  But let's not focus on that, mm'kay?

Though this was fitting, since tomorrow is
Valentine's Day! :)

  So, with Valentine's Day {or Single's Appreciation Day!} coming up tomorrow, I thought it'd be fun to do a Valentine's Day TAG!  I haven't done a tag on my blog in an eternity or seven, and there are some floating around YouTube, so I thought, why not?  Sure, this is made for YouTube, but I'd answer the questions the same either way.

1.) What are your thoughts on Valentine's Day?

  I-personally-like Valentine's Day.  It's not my favorite holiday at all, and I wouldn't say I love it, but it's fun nonetheless!  I do like tend to go all out for this holiday, giving people heart-shaped things and chocolates and red roses.  So, I can say that I do like Valentine's Day.  :)

2.) Have you ever had a Valentine before?

  Yes, yes I have! I had a Valentine last year, actually.  And when I was little, I'd always give Valentine's to the person I "liked" that said, "I love you" and stuff like that!  Was I the only one?!

3.) What is the cutest thing you've ever experienced/seen a friend experience on Valentine's Day?

  You know, I've been thinking about this question, and I can't really think of something too extremely adorable, but one experience for me was when Carter {look at link above} gave me the bracelet.  It's very pretty and was so special to me.   :)

4.) What is your favorite Valentine's Day candy?

  Although this isn't a candy, and I haven't ever really eaten it on Valentine's Day, I'd have to go with chocolate covered strawberries!  They are a m a z i n g!  XD  But chocolate in general is pretty great, and conversation hearts are good, but only some of the colors!

5.) Do you have a Valentine this year?

  Nope, I don't.  But someone asked me to the Valentine's Dance, which is tomorrow, just today!  We're just friends, so he's not my Valentine.  XD

6.) If you were to get a gift on Valentine's Day, what would it be? {Ideal gift}

  I don't really know, to be honest.  Something super cute {when I was older} would be a little picnic inside {there's still snow here!}, or maybe a song or poem or something heartfelt like that.  :)

7.) If you were to have a celebrity Valentine, who would it be?

  Hands down, Louis Tomlinson.  I can not explain my love for Louis.  He is amazing and I'd love to have him as a Valentine!  I'm sure he'd have lots of fun ideas of what to do on Valentine's Day!

  Well, that was all for the tag!  I hope y'all enjoyed!  :)

xoxo,

Happy Birthday to Me!

  Yesterday, I turned a whole year older.  :]  I've never been quite so old in my life!  XD

  I had an absolutely awesome birthday.  :]  On Friday, I had six of my best friends over, and we just hung out all night. :3  We listened to music, Gangnam Style'd, played Apples to Apples, made pizzas, ate cupcakes, opened presents, and just had fun being the awkward girls we are! XD

  So, they all the spent the night, and on Saturday we went to our local coffee shop and all got a frozen drink of our choice.  ;]  Then we went shopping downtown, which was lots of fun!  :D

  Well, I was extremely tired yesterday, due to the fact that we stayed up . . . quite late.  XD  We all fell asleep at different times, but I was the last one to fall asleep, and I just so happened to fall asleep at around 4:00 in the morning.  LUCKY ME!  XD  Then we got to get up at 8:00 to get ready to leave.  Oodles of fun!  XD

  We took the girls home at 11:30, and the rest of the day was spent however I wished.  So, we opened presents, and I received some absolutely awesome presents from my family.  :]  I am so thankful for them all!  We also went out to eat for supper, which was very yummy!  ;]

  Now, along with my birthday comes . . . MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!  :D

  Yes, I finally got one!  I'll be posting vlogs, random videos, dance videos, and anything else I feel the need/want to post!  ;]  So, I really hope you subscribe to my channel!  :3

{{I'm also sorry if I'm disappointing anyone by saying that I'm not going to be making American Girl videos.  I've lost quite a large bit of my interest, so . . . yeah.}}

  And this part's off-topic, but I got Taylor Swift's Red CD, and I am ADORING it!  :D  I'm not really a "Swifty", but this CD might make me become one, honestly!  I really recommend y'alls get this CD.  :3

  Well, I had an absolutely amazing birthday, and I wouldn't trade any of these memories for the world.

xoxo,
Carolyn

Snow Daze

  Hallelujah, IT'S A SNOW DAY!  :D  Snow is falling as we speak, and it's been falling all morning!  Man, it could've been falling all night, too!  :O  Well, all i know is this is more snow than we've had all year, AND all winter!

I can stay in my pajamas too long and not care about how I look.  No one will see me!

  

 I can wear fuzzy socks and not care that the blues don't really match. {It looks like I'm either standing or walking on the ceiling!  XD  I just had my feet in the air!}

I can curl up on my favorite couch, watching as the snow falls silently to the ground, building up taller and taller.

I can look out the window and see the snow swinging on the swing and sliding down the slide, having a play date of their own.

I can eat warm pancakes with hidden chocolate chip surprises, drenched in butter and syrup, and sip tart orange juice, the smell of my father cooking and coffee brewing in the air.

{Love, love, snow day, love, love}

{By the by, please check out my 365 blog!  I have four followers on there {so thanks to you girls! :D} and I post photography on every day.  I don't post every day here, and most definitely do not post PHOTOGRAPHY here every day, so I think you might like it.  :)}
