Spencer earned his Eagle Scout!! After years of scouting, and a massive Eagle project, Spencer officially became an Eagle Scout. His project was done over the summer - he organized a book drive and the painting of book shelves, which he and Tyler delivered to the Methodist Children's Hospital - but it was months of paperwork followed by his Board of Review before we could hold his Court of Honor. We held it over Christmas break, which meant he had grandparents, great-grandparents, an aunt, uncle, and cousins here for it. It was a full day of baking at our house, in preparation for the big night, and it was a very nice ceremony. Spencer's Grandpa Carlson and Great-Grandpa Carlson both spoke, and great-grandpa gave Spencer a flag that had been awarded to him for all his years in the forest service. That was a very nice gift, which Spencer really enjoyed. A highlight for Spencer was the signed picture of Adam Levine that was sent to him in congratulations of earning this award. He loved that! Kudos and thanks go out to his amazing Scoutmaster (and dad!) for making this award possible.
