Christmas DIY

Since I know every scrapbook store in Dubai, I was a bit more prepared for Christmas than I was for Halloween.
Little bit or card board, a little bit of paper, some ribbon (which is impossible to get here) and voila!

We are ready for Christmas!

Everything hand made by me!

I chose to use "NOEL" as this banner because Kaidens middle name is Noel. =)
 In Dubai there are no Fireplaces for obvious reasons, I had to figure out how to hang the stockings.  Which by the way is 5 this year for the first time! A curtain rod, a pretty personalized wreath which I collected bits and pieces and hot glued, I think it came out pretty cute!   Stockings are hung!

 Believe.  I believe.  I did circles because I thought they looked like ornaments.

At first when the tree arrived I wished that I did not order a 9ft tree.  Once it was decorated and lit, I am in Christmas heaven!
Benham Christmas Season is in full swing!

I am already on to my next project, Amalia's Birthday!
I got 2 birthday outfits, can't choose between the 2, matching birthday pj's for the night before.
Can you tell I am excited?! Now to decide which outfit to match the decor to!
Oh the hard decisions I have to make!

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

By
On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
