Proud mamma of an Eagle Scout!

This past Sunday we finally held Jordan's Eagle Court of Honor.  He had earned his Eagle award a couple of months ago, but as usual time slipped by with summer activities, Girls camp, Scout camp, vacations, work, life, etc. You know how it is!

I think the hardest part was setting a date, once that was done I was able to get to work on preparing for the event ......well, more like work really hard the couple of days prior, I do best under pressure :)

I had a great trip down memory lane going through old photos to create a slide show for the event. 

Where did all the time go?  It does not seem that it was that long ago that I was one of his den leaders in Cub Scouts. Yes he looks all sweet and innocent, but I remember him being quite a terror whenever it was my turn to be in charge of the pack meetings activity. 

I had so much fun with the food and was also able to complete some "pinspired" projects.
Gotta love it when you put those inspirations into action.

 Campfire cake

My version: Cake from Costco, Pirouline wafer sticks from Dollar Tree for logs,
Fruit roll-ups for flames (plastic knife sandwiched between 2 fruit roll-ups and cut in flame shape)
(inspiration found via sixinthesuburbsblog, originally posted by Anam Cara)

Water bottle label wrappers inspired by Need to Create - Recipes

  On Pinterest I saw lots of beautifully decorated cupcakes iced in the form of merit badges, which was way out of my league, as well as would take waaaaay more time than I had. 

My solution - I photocopied Jordan's merit badge sash, and cut out the merit badges. Glued 2 merit badges together, sandwiching a tooth-pick in the middle.  I thought it was a fun way to display the merit badges he had earned. 

I am so proud of his great accomplishment!
