Gummy Candy
Just shortly after the kids returned to school from Christmas break, the kids were given the day off for what was a so called "snow day." To be honest there was no snow on the road nor was their any ice, I think they were just freaked out because it only got into the teens that day. Well I needed something to do with the kids so Grant embraced the cold temperatures and went to the craft store to get some candy molds and also to get Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I found a recipe here to make your own gummy candy (similar to gummy bears) which the kids had more fun making the candy then eating it, and while we snacked on our yummy candy we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The kids enjoyed the movie and I enjoyed the fact that everyone got along and did not get into each others' space. It was a great day!
Pinewood Derby
In this picture Anthony's car is in the purple lane. He made a Luke Land Speeder from Star Wars.
Anthony is with his friend from his den meeting after their Championship race with the other Champions from all the dens. 
Right after Anthony won first place amongst the Wolves in his den. For being his first Pinewood Derby he did a good job, as you can tell he was pretty excited. The pin that is on his shirt were handed out to all those that placed first, second, and third, and then everyone received a patch to add to their collection.

Milestone
Anthony is gearing up for his baptism on Feb 6. As part of the baptismal service the Stake Primary Presidency asks each family to write a letter about their child, here is ours:
Anthony’s greatest gift is his smile, in his smile you find happiness and pure joy. Anthony is a wonderful child who loves everything about star wars, mind-boggling games, science, and numbers. Anthony finds joy in music from singing songs in the car to playing the piano, his goal is to become a good piano player. Anthony has a great love for the gospel, His Savior Jesus Christ, and The Book of Mormon. Anthony set a goal to read The Book of Mormon cover to cover by himself before he was baptized, and he did!
Anthony has an uncanny ability to love all those whom he comes in contact with, and his love is unconditional. He is a great example of standing for what is right, and being a good example to his friends. Anthony has many strengths, one of which is his ability to obey with no questions asked; he just does what is asked of him with no complaints.
Anthony is a pillar of strength to his family. His strength can be found in his service that he gives; from singing to his sister in her hospital room, to playing with his little brother, to the notes of love and appreciation he writes to his mother and father. Anthony is one who loves to serve and truly understands when you serve others you are serving our Heavenly Father.
As his parents we are eternally grateful to our Heavenly Father who blessed us with this wonderful Child of God.
We are excited for his upcoming baptism all that is left is for me to make his baptismal towel and make he baptism day book.
