Week in Roseville (continued)

 Jenna is amazing.  She just had a baby and yet she was decorating for Christmas.  Allison was having fun playing in the box.

 The kids just loved putting the ornaments on the Christmas tree.

 I played with Benson and the train/tracks while Weston was at school one day.  We had a good time.

 Weston got two awards at school during the week while I was there.  I was so proud of him.

 Jenna is such a good, patient mom - reading to Allison, Benson and Weston.

 Benson, Weston and Allison spent alot of time coloring and drawing at the island in the kitchen.

Paisley picked out this hat for me to buy Dalton.  It was really cold so I was glad he had a hat to wear.  It was such a fun week.  I loved every minute of every day!

Heaven in Roseville, California - December 1 to 7, 2013

 I spent a week at Casey and Jenna's house to help with the new baby.  Well, mostly help with Weston, Benson, and Allison.  It was wonderful to be there and spend time with the family.  Casey had the week off work so I was thrilled to spend some time with him also.  Dalton above is sleeping and the kids were putting his toys on him.  It was so cute.

 Ashley was reading to Spencer and Benson.

 Weston and Allison - all smiles!

 Watching football - Dalton's first game!  Casey, Jason, Malcolm, Charity and Morris....

 Weston holding Dalton with Allison close by.  They just love their baby brother.

 Benson got a turn holding Dalton.

 Then I got to hold Dalton!  I just loved holding him.  He is the best baby!

 I made Benson's favorite meal - macaroni and cheese!

 Benson and Weston drawing.

 Allison loves to draw also.

 Weston can read!  I was impressed that Casey and Jenna both read with him.  Weston read me his story also.  It was thrilling for me to see him read by himself for the first time.

 I made Dalton this tied quilt so I had to take a picture of him with it.

 Benson sure loves Dalton.  This is a great picture of both of them.

 Allison and Dalton

Handsome little Dalton

When Jason came to pick me up to go to the airport, Benson wanted help wrapping a gift.  Benson was wrapping Mary, Joseph, and Jesus from the nativity for a present for himself.  He was just so cute.  It was hard to leave and come home.

Saturday After Thanksgiving - Roseville - 2013

 Ashley and Malcolm went along so I could take Weston, Benson, Paisley, Spencer, and Audrey to lunch at Chick-fila.  We wanted to give Jenna some time to rest without the kids around.

After lunch we got popcorn and went to see the new movie, "Frozen."  It was really good and we had a great time.  The kids were all perfect.

Nate and Misty stayed with Charity the prior night and then left for home that morning so they weren't able to join us.  We are so glad they came for the holiday though.

Black Friday - Folsom - 2013

 We all hung out at Jason and Ashley's house while we waited for Jenna and Dalton to get out of the hospital.  I was having fun taking pictures to capture the moments.

Allison above was having a fun time coloring.

 Audrey just loved Elijah's shoes.

 Adalei and Brielle were busy with the castle.  Elijah gave me his best smile!

 Benson was playing with Adalei and Brielle.

 Paisley was in the middle of the kitchen floor drawing.

 Spencer was such a good boy to help load the dishwasher.

 Morris kept us all laughing.

 Weston had an upset stomach and Jason laid by him to comfort him.

 Malcolm was busy on his computer.

 After taking a nap, Weston seemed to feel better and Jason wrapped him up like a burrito!

 Charity is the best aunt - sitting by Weston.

 An intense conversation - Nate, Morris, and Misty....

 After Jenna and Dalton were released from the hospital, we met at the Fish Hatchery in Folsom and everyone had a great time watching the fish.

 Audrey was crawling under a tree.

 Paisley stopped long enough to pose for me.

 Paisley under the tree.

 I love this picture of Paisley in the fish at the playground.

 Allison after she walked the wall behind her.

 Spencer on the fish while Ashley watches.

 Paisley stopped to rest.

 Then we went back to Jason and Ashley's house.  Benson wanted to poke Dalton with the minion.

 Spencer and Elijah were playing together so well.

 Allison and Audrey were playing together.

 Brielle, Paisley, and Adalei were playing with the dolls.

We ended the day with the kids having hamburgers from In and Out.  

It was a great day.  I don't remember that we had any problems or fighting with the kids.  Eleven kids age 8 and younger and no problems!  It was so fun to all be together!  I wish we had taken a family picture.  That is my only regret.
