Cake, Eagles, and Haircuts

*

We attended an Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday evening. While there, I was so taken with this cake that I just had to take a picture of it!

*

It was made by my friend Charla, who has a gift for this sort of thing, as you can clearly see.

The new Eagle Scout is Monte, the oldest son of my friends Wyndie and Eugene.

That's them in the photo, along with one of Monte's former Boy Scout leaders, Robert, on the left.

*

Of course, Sarah and I had to avoid the cake, the chocolate chip cookies, the snicker-doodles, the rolls, the chips...
*

But Sarah found something even better: Baby Clarissa! Sarah would rather hold a baby than eat any time.

Jacob and Dylan certainly enjoyed the good food at the Court of Honor. Charla's cake looks totally scrumptious!

I lost track of how many chocolate chip cookies Dylan ate. They are his absolute favorite.
*

I'd been noticing for weeks that both my sons were becoming pretty shaggy, so the very next day (yesterday) they were sent off for haircuts.
*

*

*

Ahhh, my sons look like boys again! I think they look so handsome in a shorter style.

*

Thank you, Barbara (Baby Clarissa's mom), for giving me my boys back!

Sarah had her hair done at the same time. Doris, a sweet gal from church and a professional hairdresser, wanted to do Sarah's hair as a birthday gift.

*

And here she is! Doris promised she would make Sarah love her curly hair, and by golly, Sarah does love it!
*

It just goes to show:

Life--like cake and cookies--is sweet!
