Alyssa's Birthday, January 28, 2013

Vivian and Stephen came over to join us for a Thai food birthday supper at Alyssa's.  They arrived looking party-ready!  I noticed Yuri looked at them quite intently for a while after they arrived.  He had been unable to nap that afternoon, given his excitement over having selected the cup cakes, balloon, and a monkey-game gift when we went shopping that morning, and, knowing Vivian and Stephen were going to come.  He jumped out of bed after only fifteen minutes to announce very brightly, "I had a good nap"!
