These two know how to keep a spark in their marriage.


A few sweet nothings in the mornings are sure to bring some excitement to their relationship.


Arwen, completely oblivious to her parents' gross flirting, has taken to the chat rooms. She's probably a complete troll.


Um, right, great relationship! No problems here! No arguing at all!


Okay, so maybe they do have a disagreement once in a while but they always end it and move in with a smile.


Even the biggest of pups get pampered in the master bathroom tub.


Just like old times! This brings back the memories: Erick, Chester, and Helena hanging out in her first studio.


Hey, Erick? You don't want gloves? Or boots or socks? Just gonna shovel in your cardigan, then? Okay.


It's a winter wonderland and I'm loving every minute of it.


These two just seem to have a really special bond. Like Chester and Helena but completely different at the same time.


The tree is up and a little bit twinkly. We'll bring the whole family together for this later on.


August is crying in the snow with shorts and a tank top on. Typically normal, nothing to see here, move along.


The kiddos brought home extra credit work. August is building a bridge and has secluded himself in the studio to do so.


Ew, Yogi. You don't know where that puddle has been.


Before she starts her extra credit work, Arwen decides to take in a little children's TV. I don't even want to know what this show is about.


How perfect that this girl's project is a solar system? Destined to be an astronaut, I tell ya.


She enlists Erick to do some very important measuring while she molds some planets out of clay.


Not sure why August needs clay to build a bridge but, hey, he wants to join in on the fun, too.


Family bonding time, father to son.


And mother to daughter.


And husband to wife. These two, you guys!!!


Arwen's decided to make a snowpal. Yogi's decided to run away from this chaos.


Back to the grind. This time, Helena's doing some very careful reading of the instructions while Arwen's the one with the tape measure.


And just like that! Definitely worth a bazillion extra credit points.


Here's Arwen and a friend of hers making a way better snowpal than her first attempt. Concerned about the lack of gloves on her friend's part but, hey, who am I to judge and/or parent!?


Oh, I definitely won't comment on lack of gloves again if you're going to take our trash out, friend of Arwen.


This will haunt my nightmares.


Helena and her dad made time to meet up because family is important, damn it!


What kind of tea is Robert spilling right now?


Whatever it was, I don't think Helena appreciated it very much.

Helena: Dad, stop, don't use those words. Have you been watching Drag Race? You don't need to be "reading" anyone.


What the heck, August?!


Always the protector, that Yogi.


Erick decided to make some snow angels before work. He looks so happy and at peace.


Now Helena is watching some questionable TV and I just really don't understand what's going on here.


Time to decorate the tree! I hope Helena doesn't get any needles stuck in her bare legs. Ouch.


But before they could hardly begin...


It was gone. Up in flames. Almost took the house down with it. Will the Winterfest spirit ever return to the Quickover home? Stay tuned.

(I've since gotten better at screen capping fires. I used to panic and not take any pictures because apparently I think that pausing the game means the Sims will die faster. Don't judge me.)
