Christmas DIY

Image
By
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!

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...

Beautiful Baby Shower

By
This past weekend was our baby shower!!  We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types.  It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us.  This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy!  The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy).  Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all).  Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
