An Unusual Winterfest

Out for a jog. 

My old friend Vincenzo, who also never ages much like Jett.

More fighting?!  I discovered the cause, finally - there is a Neighbourhood Action Plan in place called Roughhousing Encouraged.  It caused me to get a negative sentiment with Eli! 

Caught Sadie doing flashcards with Edison.

Meanwhile Jesse and Willow were being cute cuddling in the sauna (which was also random).

Knox came over to use our recycler and I suggested that while he was here he spend some time with his sons.  He gave Edison a bath.

Layne dislikes Knox, so he was keeping an eye on him.

Rory and Edison being cute.

You may not remember, but I have a bakery!  Baker's Dozens, it's called.  I haven't opened it in a long time.  I decided to visit it today. 

Rory, Willow and Kai (who hates children) chatting in the theatre.

Somehow a fire started whilst Willow was on the toilet!!  How does that happen? 

We quickly extinguished it and Jesse and Sadie rescued the toddlers.

Eli is taking this N.A.P. very seriously - he's even fighting with his own girlfriend!

It's Rory's birthday!

And Edison's too of course.

Baby 96 Rory as a child.  He gained the Happy Toddler and Loves Outdoors traits and has the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.  He looks more like Knox, except for the random yellow hair that came from nowhere. 

Baby 97 Edison as a child.  He gained the Happy Toddler and Good traits and has the Whiz Kid aspiration.  He, on the other hand, looks like me. 

Layne has a girlfriend!  She is Olive Tinker from Evergreen Harbor and she is Evil, which matches Layne's criminal lifestyle.

It's Winterfest Eve, time to decorate the tree.

I'm crying on Winterfest morning because we found out my mermaid boys Reyne and Jude finally passed away. 

Due to the bad news of the morning, I decided we wouldn't have a big event for Winterfest.  This time we would all just hang around in our pyjamas all day and open presents.

The only people who were invited were Layne's girlfriend Olive and my boyfriend Jett.  Here is Olive, Willow, Layne and Rory playing Don't Wake the Llama.

Jesse and Layne napping.

I caught Jett under the mistletoe.

And this was his Winterfest present.

Meanwhile the kids hounded Father Winter.

Layne and Olive got ~steamy~ in the sauna.

Working on Jesse's portrait.

Aw, Jett, it's okay, your painting skills will get better.

It was time for Jesse to move out and he moved in with his ghost brother Floyd (whose father is Jett, incidentally).
