Surprise Birthday Drive-In

Such a beautiful and refreshing Sunday today!

PoC had a great live online service. There is really something cool about worshipping at home in our living room, just the 5 of us. I don't miss the morning rush and worrying about how and when everyone is getting to church and what they're wearing and what car(s) are going where when for the rest of the day and where we are eating lunch and what else is going on and, and, and!!! It's so nice to settle in and just spend time worshipping with my family in my home!  (I do miss the making music part, but those who are helping are doing a great job.)

After lunch today, we were outside for a bit. 

This evening, all 5 of us got in the car!  We tried to remember the last time all 5 of us got in the car together, and we couldn't. We figured it must've been around the holidays sometime. It was really nice to go out for a drive and see all the green and new life of springtime! We have definitely been cooped up at home too much for too long!

We were actually heading to church!  But not to go inside.

All these cars were gathered (6 feet apart) to surprise Samuel Keller on his 16th birthday!

Even this guy kept it a surprise!

It was so awesome to see some of our church family and dear friends!!!  I was so overwhelmed I had to hold back tears for the entire time we were there!!!

Kim got Samuel and the whole family to come through the building to the "garage" part, and she drove around to the outside and opened the door and we all started honking and shouting happy birthday when we saw Sam.

He was pretty surprised!

Caeden was so happy to wish his buddy happy birthday!

It was SO GOOD to celebrate Samuel today and see loved ones, even though we weren't allowed to hug anyone.  (It is hard!  PoC is a very friendly hugging church!!!)

We love our these dear friends, and are so thankful God put us together in life!
