October 31st Anders was honored with his Eagle Award. What a special night it was for both the Eagle Scout and the parents of the Eagle Scout! His good friend asked if they could have their ceremony together (neither one wanted to be the center of attention). It turned out better than I could have imagined. Friends and leaders past and present participated in the program. We were so fortunate to be able to have so many people who mean so much to our family involved in such a memorable night. After the ceremonies, Anders talked about his project. He was so confident, poised and did a fantastic job. I was so PROUD of him.
Getting ready!
Grandma Howard's magic touch-it was beautiful and delicious!

Watching a video Bret made of the boys throughout their scouting experiences. Amazing to see the difference between pictures of them at 12 and pictures of them at 15.
