Family Shenanigans

The whole household was reeling from the news that Jesse and Layne had passed away. 
Freya pushes her food around sadly. 
Edison called me urgently down to the basement.  Buzz had gone in the sauna and had broken down! 
Freya was scared of the monster under her bed and she vented to Jett. 
"Dad, there's this thing!"
Me: "Hey honey, you what's up?"
Jett: "Freya just called me Dad." 
"Aw that's amazing!"
Rory feels his baby.  His baby mama is called Jo.  Turns out when I saw her in San Myshuno that Rory didn't know yet!
It looked like Edison was flirting with the food stand vendor. 
Then he chats to this lady. 
Rory told me that Jo was pregnant with his baby.  I feigned surprise and told him I already knew.  He said that he was excited (being Family Oriented) but that Jo wasn't.  I thought this was a strangely perfect situation... 
Edison decided it was finally time to move out.  He moved to Newcrest.
It's Winterfest time.   
Oh poor Jett.  Living with me and my cooking has done a number on him.  
Calling my family to the grand meal. 
Rory got a call - Jo had given birth!  It was twin boys named Kristopher and Jaden. 
Buzz admires the tree.
It's old lady Mardi!  
Uh oh.  Astrid was aging up and I was missing it. 
Which of course means so was Otto!
Baby 98, Astrid Twyla, as a young adult.  Her final traits were Kleptomaniac, Good Manners and Responsible. 
Baby 99, Otto Blake, as a young adult.  His final traits were Loves Outdoors, Good Manners and Responsible. 
My husband nabs me under the mistletoe.
Father Winter gives Freya a gift.
Freya had an odd reaction to the monster under her bed.
Me and my boy Rory. 
Me and my girl Willow.
My old lady Sadie. 
Twinnies Edison and Rory exchange a gift.
Chatting with my youngest, Baby 100 Freya.
Elderly Mardi (Baby 93)!
Jett plays Don't Wake the Llama with my grandson Bradly (Sadie's son).

A Reunion


Our toilets keep breaking and now I know why!  Our goofball Servo has been pranking them.
Rory and his girlfriend Jenny being cute.
Meanwhile, ripped Edison tans. 
I think our wedding inspired Rory - I have a feeling he is going to propose to Jenny soon!
Charmer Freya asks her new stepdad for a hug. 
Handsome Otto.  He reminds me of Baby 27 Benjamin.  I love when a kid comes along who looks like one of their long-dead older siblings, because it reminds me of them.  
Karma!  Astrid was having a mood swing and kicked the bin over, only to be attacked by the bees!
Reading to this sweetie. 
Playing with mama. 
It's Buzz's turn to be abducted!  Only a few days after Edison, they never happen this close together.
Beam me up, Scotty! (this is what I say every time I'm abducted, I'm friends with them by now)
Rory is disgusted by something. 
Jett often comes up to me and randomly kisses me.
He's back and he's dazed.
Buzz and Freya playing dolls.
And playing! 
Jett and Buzz are both childish so I often catch them playing with toys. 
Dancing is the latest thing in our house.  Otto, Freya and I dancing. 
These two have a love/hate relationship.  They're twins and they're good friends but Astrid is evil so she is often being mean to her brother. 
Uh-oh, someone is missing her cake!
Baby 100 Freya as a child!  She was so close to getting the top-notch toddler trait but alas she is only a Happy Toddler.  She gained the Art Lover trait and has the Artistic Prodigy aspiration. 
Sadie looks shocked by nephew Beckett. 
Or maybe it's her step-father!  Jett!  Put some clothes on before you scar the children for life!
A sun snow in autumn!  That's about as much as we get in Oasis Springs. 
Teaching Astrid to cook on Harvestfest.  
Poor Buzz.  He grabbed a random book to read and it was the vampire encyclopaedia.
Buzz: "Well, that's enough reading for one day." 
Me, Astrid, Freya, Rory, Otto, Edison and Jett indulging in our grand breakfast.
Buzz was just so intrigued by the idea of vampirism that he kept reading the book.  So I told him about our multiple vampire family members.  He was somewhat comforted by the fact that he didn't have a circulatory system. 
See?  Love/hate. 
Poor Rory.  He got into an argument with his girlfriend Jenny.  It turns out she Hates Children!  He was furious and upset. 
"I can't believe this!  We've been friends since we were teenagers!  You know I want kids, but now you're telling me you hate children?!  Just as I was going to ask you to marry me." 
"You were going to propose?  Listen, I can't help my personality.  I guess there's no convincing you to marry me anyway and just have dogs instead...?"
"I am family oriented and you hate children.  That makes us incompatible.  And I want kids!  So I guess there's nothing for us to do except break up." 
"What are you still doing here?  Uh, buh-bye." 
Edison comforted his twin, assuring him they'd both find love. 
Edison and Freya hugging. 
Jett and I hanging by the pool. 
Poor Buzz, sad punching. 
Rory came home from work and saw this lady at our doorstep - he knew it was a sign. 
Otto floating sadly. 
Who is Freya evil glaring at?
Oh look. 
Rory is an adult!   
I took Jett to the Flea Market and told him I had a surprise for him. 
It was our son Floyd!  You may recall that he tragically died of Embarrassment upon aging into a young adult.  Jett wasn't really around much when our boys were growing up, a fact which we both now regret.  It was touching to witness their reunion. 
At the flea market I ran into the girl who showed up on our doorstep the other day, and she was pregnant!  
"Oh, I guess you're the grandmother then," she chuckled awkwardly. 
Rory had gotten her pregnant and didn't mention anything to me! 
Jett and Floyd.  If only Wynn were here too, but his ghost is long-gone.
