We had a great time celebrating James' birthday this year. He enjoyed having his birthday on a Saturday because it was so much easier to do fun things and celebrate it appropiately. He started his birthday off early when his co-workers took him out to lunch on Thursday. Friday we dropped the kids off at Grandma and Grandpa's and went out to eat at Red Lobster. It was our first time eating at a sea food restaurant, but because James got a gift certificate from work (unrealted to his birthday) we thought we'd give it a try. After settling on shrimp (for me) and crab legs (for James), we were left to observe the others around us so we knew how to eat this foreign food. Needless to say, we were quite entertained with how others were eating their crab legs. We felt confident that James would be able to conquer those legs when they finally came. We enjoyed our food, but we weren't overly impressed. I'm glad we went on someone else's bill. Afterwards, we went shopping and picked up a couple of things that James liked.

The next morning (James' actual birthday) we headed out in the blizzard, ok, it wasn't THAT bad, but it was snowing pretty hard...anyway, we headed out to Weber State Davis Campus for the 5k we signed up for last month, thinking that it would be a beautiful spring run. The snow let up long enough for the race. We guess that we finished in the top 25%. That's just a guess though...

We then went home, built a fire because Spring forgot to come this year and finished up the celebrations with doughnuts and presents.
Thomas has been waiting to give Dad his present all week. James also picked this out and I"m still not sure if this present is more for Thomas or James, but either way it's a fun way for them to bond- he opened Star Wars III for our PC. Thomas was so excited!
You can see Thomas watching the game load on the computer. We got constant updates on how much it had loaded.
Hailey was feeling a little left out so, we look a picture together. We'll have to do girly things on my birthday next year!
