Trent and Rach: christmas in utah

we finshed up school in el paso and made our way up to utah for the holidays. trent is done with his classroom portion of school and this spring we are headed to houston and phoenix to finish his 2 interships. this spring we will also find out if he'll get his doctorate or graduate in may with his masters. we are hoping for the docorate. then hopefully we'll make our home in st. george this fall. yeah. all of trent's hard work is finally going to be worth it. i'll tell you what though, if anyone is considering going out of state for school/job do it. best thing we ever did. anyways, december was filled with family, friends, parties - lots of ugly sweater parties- jazz games, and again saying goodbye to everyone once january rolled around. you'd think it would get easier to say goodbye, but it never does.

madi - i swear she was supposed to be mine, but shan got to her first, not cool shan, I lOVE this GIrl!! she's in her rocking chair, drinking hot chocolate and watching the train go round the tree. ah the joy's of being two.

me and 2 of my big sisters - stacie and jamie - love them like they were my own flesh and blood. miss there faces already

wow. speechless. our friend ugly sweater party. the boys looking as hot as ever. jake took ugliest sweater title due mainly to the fact that he wore that thing to work and found himself wearing the same vest as a co-worker. classy. and no you won't see any pics of the girls in their ugly sweaters.

trent upped his game at the family ugly sweater party and won the coveted golden shoe. thanks uncle jason for keeping it in your hutch until next year so we don't have to drive it all over the south western united states this spring!

my kids! the henderson side nieces and nephews. love them all and miss them terribly

two of my favorite girls. they are so girly and need my purple phone, purse and high heeled shoes the moment i walk into the room. they are so sweet. and pretty sassy too.

ah. trent nestling into his white elephant snuggie and a sweet new read. he is super interested in that book and couldn't put it down all night. right. i do have to add, trent gave the snuggie to our prego friend that will put that thing to good use. luckily trent did get a utes snuggie to replace the pink one.
