9.27.08 Happy Birthday Celebration Anthony!

I seem to have been procrastinating in the blogging thing recently, but one thing that I feel deserves a blog entry is my husband’s Birthday which we celebrated a la Havana Nights style a few weeks ago.Everything went off without a hitch, well...weather really threatened but we had plan A and plan B all figured out. The most important thing is that my husband really enjoyed the day and night, he loves birthdays and definitely when the party has a theme and is all about and for him!

Guests got to enjoy a Cigar rolling presentation by Tony Santana @ the Cigar Vault now the Santana Tabacalera. They also got to smoke all types of flavored cigars and by the end of the night the novice smokers were pros. Everyone including the kids received a goody bag with 3 to 5 flavored cigars, well the kids cigars were yummy chocolate...he he


Here's Tony working on one of my favorite cigars; the honey dipped.












My mom trying out the cigar, one of her many...puff puff

Thank you so much to everyone who came, especially to everyone that drove from far away and those who flew, it made the day very special for Anthony, to have all his close friends join his celebration. Here's a peek of the favor...a Sweets Rush for the ride home!

I have to give special thanks to a few people that made the planning a smooth transition and the day a success;

My mother in-law, who was our "caterer". Everything was absolutely delicious and everyone could not rave enough about the food...well, coming from mom's Italian kitchen, what is there to complain about? Thanks Mother!

My Mom and Dad, for traveling a couple of hundred miles to celebrate my husband's birthday. Also, mom thanks for helping with the decor (I guess I inherited the planner thing from her), and thanks dad for helping with the set up; tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces and so on...I love you and thank you.

My neighbors and friends Gail and Kelly, who the entire night helped host the event...can't thank you enough girls.

Last but not least to Tony @ The Cigar Vault, in Nutley, you did an amazing job. Your cigars were a hit! Thank you for your awesome presentation.

Elisa's bakery in Toms River ~ Thanks for the gorgeous cake and giant canoli, they were both delish! Everyone enjoyed it, I promise I will post pics!

The Tent man ~ for attending my needs setting up the tent asap although it was a short notice call.
