March: GNR and the Gala

Celebrating Raya's birthday at Belgium Cafe

Happy Birthday, Raya!

This was the insane traffic to get to the parking lot of the Guns N Roses concert in Dubai.  After only going .2 miles in 15 minutes, we left our diver and got out and walked the almost 3 mile walk to the concert.  We later learned there was only one entrance for the thousands of cars entering the parking lot.  This is so typical for the UAE.  This is a temporary venue and I suppose no one thought about the numbers of cars needed to enter the parking lot

Terrible picture, but walking along the highway

Axl Rose....looking a bit different from the last time I saw him

Super fun night!  Due to the traffic, we didn't get home to Abu Dhabi until 3AM!

Happy 14th Anniversary to us!  Dinner at one of our favorites, Market Kitchen

ACS 2017 Gala ready!

Phil (our trainer) and Melanie's baby, Holden.  Getting him started early at the gym

We took the girls to see Beauty and the Beast.  Eliza brought a sleep mask in case she needed to hide her eyes during the scary parts.  She is not a fan of scary movies

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The girls took a little after school singing class.  Their performance was really cute

 Olivia has become a tetherball master.  She LOVES it!

Olivia's 8 1/2 Birthday Party

Olivia loves to bake and wanted to have a baking party

Getting the goody bags all ready

With my new machine, I was able to make personalized aprons for the the girls

I found the cutest little cafe that hosts baking parties, but it was so far away from where we all live.  I offered to give as many rides as we could to keep my mama friends form having to drive to the ends of the earth for a birthday party



Olivia's Bake Shop



 They got to make pretzels, cupcakes and sugar cookies

Happy Half Birthday, Sweet Girl
