Trauterman Family: What you have missed....

So I have taken a little time away from the blog because I realize that I need to spend more time scrapbooking~especially Savannah's first year. I was able to do Sydney's first year and have it complete by her first birthday and would like to do the same for Savannah. I have 2 months done and about 100 pages scrapped. I really need to cut down on the pages and pick up my pace if I am going to finish. I am also just preparing myself for when the time comes with 3 little ones. Blogging will most likely be cut down to once a week or once ever two weeks. I will try to post pics of everything, but will place pics on FB as well.
So here are 3 weeks worth of pics I haven't blogged about starting with Sydney's 4th birthday still:

These were taken a few moments after 3:01 when she turned 4!

Her soccer cake

Daddy lighting her soccer ball candles.

Blow out your candles!

Sydney's big birthday present. She wasn't too sure for some reason about it. But then realized it was all hers! I think she expected to unwrap something, and not have it just put in front of her.

She got on to test it out.

She's officially 4!

She loves to pose lately for the camera....one last ride in the house before bed time.

We went to the park for Sydney to try out her new bike on the bike/walking trail. She is doing so well. The practice on her smart cycle game really paid off!

Savannah went for a walk too, with a little assistance from her walker.

awwww

She's a pro!

That's my sweetheart!

We headed out to Kraynaks where they have such a gorgeous display of Christmas and winter displays. They decorate each tree differently with a specific theme. It really gets you in the mood for Christmas!

This display was our family's favorite!

There's her buddy Dora

It's so beautiful here!

She posed by everything she could!

We went to the park with Grandpa while he was here visiting. The girls had a great time, like usual.

Her tongue is never in her mouth!

♥ I love these two! ♥

Sydney loves taking pictures, so I gave her the camera and she took this one...she did a great job~no heads are cut off!!

November 13th was in the 60s, so we decided to finally get out our rake and rake up the leaves. Sydney did a little work, then ended up just playing in a pile of leaves Daddy raked just for her to play in, and I ended up chasing Savannah around the yard~keeping things out of her mouth and her out of the street. I can't wait til the spring when we get our privacy fence put up!
I love how they both have the same look on their face~they both must make faces in order for the leaves to get in the bag.

she looks like she is up to something

I gave a little rake to Savannah, but she threw it down~apparently this little one just wants to have fun and not do any work....we will let it slide this year.

This could be trouble....

weeeeee!

Mommy and her girls! :)

Sydney loved playing in the leaves this year!

On November 14th the Patriots played the Steelers. Here is a picture of the Patriot clan at our church. We all wore Patriots shirts to church that day to support our team in the middle of Steeler country! It was great to see the Patriots cream the Steelers! Woohoo! :)

The next town over from us had a "Light up the Night" parade for Thanksgiving/Christmas and it had to have been the best parade I have ever been too! It lasted for an hour and 45 minutes!!!! Sydney walked away with more candy than on Halloween!!! I took the girls by myself because Will was working, and was concerned how they would do in the cold, past their bedtimes, but they were great!!!! Savannah sat in Sydney's Nemo chair for over an hour just watching the parade! I love doing things like this with the girls and knowing they both enjoyed themselves!

Watching all the floats go by
