Stephen's 25th Birthday

Stephen turned 25 on July 27th. He feels very old now that he has lived for a quarter of a century! Unfortunately, Stephen had to work all day on his birthday, but fortunately, his work threw him a little birthday party. They brought bagels for the celebration because Stephen loves bagels! On the evening of Stephen's birthday we went out to dinner at Cafe Rio. We then went back to the apartment where lots of Stephen's friends were waiting to surprise him! Yep, I threw Stephen a surprise party (though I later discovered that it wasn't as big of a surprise as I had hoped it would be... I guess I'm not very sneaky!). We were so happy with how many friends came to wish Stephen a happy birthday! We also want to thank our wonderful family for all your cards and birthday wishes. Below are pictures of a few people at the party. You will see a picture of Stephen with his old roommates Nathan and Zack, our wonderful neighbors Jason and Emily, and a bunch of friends from Stephen's study abroad to Jerusalem.
