Seems that October is the time for birthdays. There was a birthday at school for one of the kids (he is Emirati, which means that it is not a small affair). His mum bought in a gigantic Spiderman cake for all the kids, along with drinks and goodie bags for everyone too (and we're talking quality goodie bags full of lollies and toys). We sang Happy Birthday in English, then in Arabic (Eid milaad saeed) and then in Russian (S dniom razhdjenia).
We went to Atlantis for Rob's birthday over the weekend and since he is from Italy we learnt to sing Happy Birthday in Italian (Tanti auguri a te).
We went out to lunch for Anca's birthday to a French restaurant called 'Madeline' at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai - very nice! The waiters came out with cake and sang Happy Birthday in French (Joyeux anniversaire).
It was a bit of a girls day out
Larissa had a Creme Brulee that was about the size of her head,
and I had the most amazing Mousse au Chocolat au Lait ever!
But the most important birthday of all was...
Helen's!
Now I just need to learn how to sing Happy Birthday like a kiwi!
Huppy Burthday Hulen!
