Happy 39th Birthday Augusto!
And no, I'm not kidding. He really is STILL only 39. For which I am having a hard time forgiving him. Augusto's birthday is December 31st - that's right, New Year's Eve. Party night to end all party nights. Sounds like it would be fun, but inevitably people are so focused on NYE that they forget his birthday, or remember around 1:00am on the 1st. This year, we did it in style - where else? The Atlantis!
We attended a HUGE party staged on the beach, although it was so elaborate you would never have known we were outside. And huge by Dubai terms means that there were 4,000 people at the dinner. Yes, that is four THOUSAND. The general consensus here is that bigger is always better. Here is a picture of our table:
It was a black tie affair with an elaborate buffet (which was carved entirely out of ICE) and a huge band:
The party favors included lovely pashminas just in case it got chilly! Oh la la!
And a birthday surprise for Augusto! A beautiful cake, bottles of champagne, and 4,000 people sang him Happy Birthday!
An after dinner drink, and that's when things started getting interesting:
At midnight there were tons of fireworks and then it started to SNOW! (well, actually, it started to SOAP, but it sure was a nice effect)
A great birthday for my handsome husband. A great start to 2011!
Happy New Year's Everyone! I hope you had as much fun as we did!
