Christmas DIY

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!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

By
Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

By
Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
