Eric had his Eagle court of honor on February 18th. It was such a great night! And by the way, let me just say that it is SO much work to become an Eagle Scout. How will I ever get through 4 more boys (and their projects? UGH!)
We set up a display table with things that represented his personality.
Eric received this framed picture for Christmas. It says: "An Eagle unendowed will never soar." We heard the quote from a member of our stake presidency (who was a quoting a former Stake President) and had it printed and framed. I love this saying! (Too bad that Moroni's head is cut off----it's just the frame that did it; it wasn't printed that way)...just saying....
Cool Eagle statue! Ooohh, Aaahhh.....
The cake
Todd and I participated in the program. We each said a few words. At first when Eric asked me to speak, I didn't want to say anything because I get pretty nervous for this kind-of thing, but in the end, I decided that there was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity to essentially "brag" about my son. It is my privelege and my honor as his mother. So that's what I did.....
The program went really well. Todd made a video presentation of Eric's growing-up years, scout activities, the family, and his Eagle project. It was very touching and so cool! We are so proud of Eric for his hard work and determination in achieving this great award. We love you son!
1 down, 4 to go....seriously?
