Nate's birthday morning usually consists of eating Daddy's famous French toast and opening presents. Well, this year it was a bit different! We had family in town for his party weekend, so we decided it was the perfect time for Nate to run his first 5K! My dad, older sister, and Greg ran the race as well. And a few of Nate's buds from school!

| Let's do this! |
 |
| Big Al goofing off before the race |
 |
| 3/4 of a mile in.....looking good! |
 |
| I told Nate he could walk at any time if he needed to. As soon as he saw me though, he started booking it again! |
 |
| On the home stretch.....only about 1/4 mile to go. He left his friends in the dust! |
 |
| Crossing the finish line!!! |
 |
| He earned every bit of that donut. So proud of Nate!! |
 |
| Tired & sweaty boys :) |
 |
| All the Gibbs/Givens runners |
 |
| Greg & Poppy both got first place in their age groups!!! (Nate's timing chip messed up, but we think he got around 4th place in his age group. Not bad for his first race!) |
We had planned to go out to breakfast after the race, but Nate wanted to just come home & take a cold shower. And open his presents :)
 |
| Awesome presents, and awesome Ninja party! |
Every year, Nate chooses Hokkaido (a Japanese steakhouse) for his birthday dinner. This year, Nanny & Poppy got to tag along since they were in town! (Aunt Lora flew out early Sunday morning and had to miss it, unfortunately).
Nate's last celebration was on Monday at school. I got to sit with him a few minutes at lunch, and hand out donuts to both 3rd grade classes as his birthday treat. Love this sweet boy! (And the fact that he doesn't get embarrassed by me being at lunch & wanting to take pictures. I know my time is limited!!)
