The Marshall 5: January 2011

Digital Scrapbook Layouts by Christy

This is Trey's friend, Easton. Over the last several months Easton has befriended Trey and been by his side whenever he can. Because Trey goes to school in Springville and not Mapleton they would only get to see each other at church and at Cub Scouts. He talks to Trey, pushes his chair and just really loves Trey.
Before Trey's baclofen pump surgery in November Easton showed up at our door with a present for Trey. A binder, paper, pencil, a little army football and a couple of other things. I just found out recently from Easton's mom that he did that all by himself. Got the things together and told his mom he was going to take it to Trey.
Even as I write this I'm emotional, it touches my heart to see one of Trey's peers treat him so good and really be a friend. I'm so happy that Trey has had this experience.
Easton has recently moved to Springville so he won't get to see Trey at church or cub scouts but I'm hoping that I can get the boys together every once in awhile.
Easton is such an amazing boy, I'm so glad we were blessed to have him come into Trey's life.

Trey at Class Christmas program

Just had to share this picture from Trey's class Christmas program they do every year. They sign a few songs and then we get to see a bunch of pictures of them doing things at school.
Trey was so happy this day!

Christmas Morning 2010

No, he is not trying to strangle her!

Christmas Day was wonderful. The kids didn't wake up until 8 am then we opened presents. After presents while the kids played I made blueberry muffins. The rest of the day was playing and napping. That night we had fondue for dinner.

Christmas Eve Day at the Marshall's

We went up to Paul's mom's and dad's house for a few hours. We had a great time making ginger bread houses with the family. I had a lot of fun helping with Trey's, he closely supervised and demanded the little mint chips be put in his mouth on the regular basis.

Brett did a wonderful job with his and once I had the basic structure he totally did the rest. With the cone on top he called it a church house. :)

Wow! I did a good job of supervising!

Ellie enjoyed this too but really just wanted to eat the candy!

So Christmas Eve night we had a simple dinner because we ate so much at Paul's parents we weren't up for a big dinner, so I suggested that we eat some things that people ate back in Jesus's time. This was our version: salami, different cheeses, olives, bread, crackers, tuna fish.
