The Great 12

In the morning, Skylar discovered someone broke in the house! Skylar screamed ¨MOM......DAD¨! She was so worried. Paige was the only one that heard her. Paige came rushing down stairs and asked what was wrong. She looked to her right and saw that all the furniture and the tv was gone! Ryan woke up once she heard the girls scream. He thought they were just acting silly. He walked downstairs lazily which almost made him trip. The fall definitely woke him up. Ryan saw that his tablet was gone. The glass table was on the floor shattered. Amelie knew that Ryan was scared because of his tone. Amelie woke up Angela and Jonathan. They all ran downstairs.

Everyone loved their ice cream. They agreed to get Lennon to bed like their parents said and after that they would play video games until their parents came home. It was time for the girl’s to come upstairs. They all went into Harmony and Ivy’s room. They played with their Barbie dolls they got for christmas.&nbsp; Soon the girls left Harmony and Ivy’s room and went down to the basement. They found their mom's old toy and shoes. They played dress-up with the shoes and they played with her toys. Around 11:00 they went to sleep. Mom and Dad came home at 9:00 the next day.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Angela was curious of why the kids were out of bed. Jonathan went crazy when he saw things were missing. Paige said ¨SOMEONE BROKE IN THE HOUSE¨. Everyone started getting really scared. Angela and Jonathan told them to go to their rooms and they would check it out. Angela looked around the right side of the house, Jonathan looked on the left. They realized the door was open but they did not know how It got opened.......

One day Paige-Anne asked her mom “When do I get a sister or brother?” Angela replied “ I wouldn't know.” 4 months later, she went to the doctors and found out Paige was having a little sister. Angela had a name for her. Angela really liked this name for a very long time, her name was going to be Amelie. Angela and Paige were so excited about the baby. They spent most of the time shopping for cute baby clothes. Angela didn't care how much she spent on the baby. She wanted Amelie to have a beautiful life. The time came, 2001 was the year Amelie was born. A few years after Amelie was born,&nbsp;Angela found out that she was having Ryan. A few years back, Angela met a guy at high school, his name was Johnathan. A few years after they met they got married. Ryan was 3 when his mom got married. Paige was 7 and Amelie was 5. Many years later, Jonathan and Angela decided to adopt siblings.

After school Paige picked up Ivy and Ivan from daycare, Amelie, Ryan, Cameron and Skylar took the bus home. Paige had to babysit the twins until the rest of the family came home. At this point Amelie and Paige had to get jobs. Cameron swept the floor at Amelie's job.&nbsp; Cameron makes 20 dollars a day. Amelie made 50 dollars a day and Paige made 100 dollars a day, Paige had the best paying job. They all made 1,190 together in a week. This is not nearly enough money to buy clothes for 11 people! Angela got a job at Gucci and makes nearly 3600 dollars a week.It's enough to pay for bills, the kids already had enough clothes.&nbsp; A few years later Harmony Ranae was born. 2016 was the most stressful year. But luckily Harmony Ranae was an angel. She was able to make her bed, she could talk but not so well.&nbsp;

She starved and starved until her mom asked did she want something to eat? She replied ¨Yes¨. She was pretty happy that her mom asked her because she was most definitely not going to ask anyone.

 Ryan said we have a homemade cake and its lemon pound cake, your fav. She was so happy. It was dinner time and everyone ate mash potatoes with gravy and ham and greens. The next morning they discovered something major that happen...... 

Most of the kids had to get combined rooms because they were getting ready to move. The year was 2020, they saved up for a new house. They got the biggest house they could afford. It was definitely bigger than their last house. Amelie had a room with Ryan.&nbsp; They didn't mind each other.&nbsp;Soon later, The family found out that Angela was having a baby. A few months after they found out, Angela had Lennon. Everyone called him Lenny. They had an extra room but they thought he was going to be born later. Johnathan and Angela spent all day looking for the best things ever. Lennon had to sleep with Skylar until his room was done.&nbsp; Lennon’s room was done a couple of days after. Skylar loved hanging out with&nbsp;Lennon. Angela and Johnathan then decided to move everything from Lennon’s room to Skylar’s room. They became roommates and shared everything. At the time, Amelie was about to move out.

At 7 months she was crawling. In 2018 she had her 2nd birthday. She had a party, all her family came, even Granny Carter. She wasn't the youngest at the time. She had a little brother on the way. A few hours later, everyone left, all the kids were exhausted. Paige was going to college that year. Amelie was in the last year of high school. Ryan was a sophomore in high school. Skylar was starting highschool. Cameron was going to 2nd grade. Ivan and Ivy were starting pre-school. A few months later, the baby was born, the baby was a boy and his name was River. This meant that Harmony Ranae was no longer the baby of the family. Harmony Ranae didn’t like that but luckily she liked River. They got along pretty well. River turned 1 and had to share a room with Harmony Ranae.&nbsp;

They had ordered breakfast by the time. Skylar was so exhausted, he slept for half of the day. When he woke up he saw there was a huge white car in his driveway. He asked his Mom and Dad whose car is that? They said it was Paige's car. He was excited and happy. Dad said ’’Guess who is also here? He said, Ryan and Amelie!” The family was back together until winter break was over. Christmas came around quickly. Lennon got a Mickey Mouse themed walker, and River got a toy drum and guitar. It was Harmony, Ivy and Ivan, and Cameron’s turn. Harmony got a LOL dream house, Ivy and Ivan got the Skywalker's Twin Bobble-Head and Cameron got an iPad. All the kids who got their present ran downstairs to play with them, Cameron asked Dad to help her set up her iPad.&nbsp;Everyone else got $100

 As the day turned into night, they all got a midnight snack. Paige got strawberries, and Amelie did not want a snack. Ryan snuck and ate his mom´s candy. Shortly after, everyone started getting ready for bed. The next morning everyone but Amelie woke up.

Angela tried to wake Amelie up, but Amelie rolled over and ignored her mom. Angela said ¨Breakfast is ready¨. Paige came upstairs to see what was taking her mom and Amelie so long. Paige walked in the room. She asked Amelie what was wrong. Amelie said ¨I just really want a pretty fabulous car like yours¨. Paige replied ¨You will get that one day,but just not now. Angela heard screaming coming from downstairs.The noise came from the kids fighting. Angela and Paige rushed downstairs. Amelie finally got up because she was very hungry. She went downstairs to see all the pancakes and eggs were gone. Ryan walked by and said ¨you should have came down earlier¨. Amelie gave him the cold shoulder.

And Ryan was leaving off for college early. Skylar was the oldest and the funniest. He was taking his drivers test that week. He was driving early and planned on graduating from high school early. Harmony and Ivy always played together and one day they had a sleepover with their neighbors. Cameron was in charge of watching them because she was the oldest girl at the house. Skylar passed his driving test and Angela trusted him with the kids a little bit more than she did with Amelie. He took all the boys out to the playground.&nbsp;Sadly Lennon was too young to play, he will get hurt. But the park had baby swings. He got on his first swing! After they were finished at the park they got ice cream for the whole family. The place they always went to was Scoops. They sold ice cream for babies. Skylar got Lennon vanilla. After all the boys finished their ice cream they went home.

Amelie screamed at the top of her lungs AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.” a month later, she took her test, she passed! But hours after Angela was rushed to the hospital she had Ivan and Ivy. The family loved them. Paige took the family everywhere. Mom and Dad were shopping most of the time. It is very hard to shop for 11 kids, you would think they would be broke by now but luckily for them, Jonathan has a good job as a surgeon. Being a surgeon pays enough money to buy clothes for more than 9 people and pay bills. 5 months later they started losing money. So Angela put Ivy and Ivan in daycare. Paige was the only one that could really drive. Angela and Jonathan didn’t trust Amelie with kids in the car with her.
