This year the Thome household braved hosting the Vonderheide Christmas, complete with turkey, ham and all the fixings per Gram and Ray's request. We are lucky to still have my grandparents around, who really know how to spoil the great-grandkids and who really enjoy watching the kiddos during the gift opening. Mason couldn't have been more pleased with the variety of Ninja Turtle paraphernalia he received while Brandon was excited to get a chemistry kit, of course, among other great things.

Our family

Brandon is now a second grader! He continues to love to play outside, has a great imagination, and is still fascinated by how things work. Literally, how EVERYTHING works! He is quite the little camper and we are still pretty sure he will end up being some type of engineer!
He still likes to watch an occasional animated movie but is obsessed with the Science Channel, so if the TV is on and he has an option that is what he will be watching. His favorite shows are How It's Made, Build it Bigger, Engineering the Impossible, and more recently science shows about Space. He is still very interested in chemistry, space, and the ocean. His favorite book to read is any book in the Fly Guy series and he loves to be read to from all the science books we have collected. His curiosity is endless!!!

Mason is now in Kindergarten and will be six very soon! He loves to ride the bus, chase the girls on the playground, and be outside exploring. He is still my sweet, big hearted, sensitive little guy. He is still my little shadow (I call him my "Momma seeking missile"), and less and less often finds his way to our bed to snuggle in the early morning hours thanks to no longer napping in the afternoon. He continues to love all things with wheels, is an active kiddo, and still loves to wrestle with Daddy! He spends hours chasing after lizards (just like Lilly). He loves to watch The Ninja Turtles, his favorite movie is Hotel Transylvania, and his favorite book is just about anything we read to him (although he is less interested in space and science than Brandon). He is quite the dare-devil, never seems to need as much sleep as the rest of us, and is our little athlete!

Kevin and I have been married for ten years this October, we can't believe how fast time goes and how big our kiddos are getting. Kevin is still a dedicated hunter and is loving his career now that he switched engineering firms! I have spent the past decade plus working for the same hospital and love the flexibility my job gives me so I can be with the boys as much as possible!
