Nothing says, “Happy birthday,” like a giant truck backing into the driveway.

We met Mike, Anthony, and .  These three men would spent the next 3-4 days with us packing up all of our belongings.

It got a little weird, to be honest. 
Marie asked for a yummy treat of pineapple cherry upside down cake and lemon bars for her birthday. 

As the men started working in the house we quickly realized that the kitchen would not be a reasonable place for me to be doing much work.  We also realized we had NO IDEA just what we were in for.

Thankfully, we have the kind of friends who love Jesus.  I was supposed to take Johanna to Alli’s, but Alli’s mom graciously offered to come for Johanna.  She also offered to make the lemon bars.

Christine picked up Katriel.

Before dinner time, our house looked like this:

Once they left, we had birthday dinner and a quiet celebration.

We gave Marie some gift monies for Box Lunch to pick up some Loki gear.

And they were the best tasting lemon squares I have ever had.

Happy birthday, Marie.
