Christmas morning...

and Christmas eve...

We had a wonderful Christmas! Our boys must have been very good this year cause Santa brought them lots of new toys, books and clothes. Chase got a new bike and scooter which are his favorite gifts. Holden liked the paper more than the toys, but he loved all of his books. We made sure the boys knew that Christmas was Jesus' birthday first and that they were very blessed to get toys from Santa too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Love, The Trautner Family

** Yet again, Amber did a great job with our Christmas Cards!

Baptized....

Holden was baptized Sunday morning. Our family was at church for the ceremony and then we had people over later in the evening for a little dessert party.

Holden was so good in front of the congregation. Maybe he will be a preacher - I can only hope!

Thankful....

for these boys!

Happy Halloween - 2011

Love - Mario and Luigi

Down the Shore... Pics Part 2... Finally!

Down the Shore... Pics Part 1...Bike Ride

I know, I know... Could it take me any longer to post pics from vacation? There are soooooo many and I'm finally getting around to looking through them all.
We went for a bike ride the 2nd morning we were there and stopped for the BEST homemade donuts. Holden loved it and so did Chase. Honestly, I think he was a little big for the kiddy seat, but oh well. Next year we told him he could ride his own bike.
