O, Winterfest tree, o, Winterfest tree / How lovely are they branches!


No, really, your branches are really nice but to where are all of these ornaments disappearing?


Briony is determined to be in the best shape possible to further her quest of being a great dancer. A punching bag in the middle of the house may not be the most aesthetically pleasing thing but, hey, it's cold out there!


These people are obsessed with this fireplace. It is always on. Always! Middle of summer? Let me warm myself to the brink of heat stroke.


I don't want to say that Molly is getting senile in her old age but it seems like she forgot something quite important here.


Bethany: How could they afford this place? Did my parents give them money? I swear to God if they gave my sisters money and let me go off on my own to the desert to be forgotten...

Calm down, girl, you aren't bad off. Like, at all.


This house didn't really come with a real dining area so, here we are, around the massive island, enjoying a Grand Meal so lovingly prepared by Beatrix.


Well. Not everyone wants to be inside, which is understandable, but at least Bea is wearing a cardigan, Molly! Has no one found an extra sweater or coat that she can wear?! Seriously. I'm very concerned. I'm surprised she made it through the party.


Oh, thank God! Molly is back inside and fully dressed. I'm so relieved.


Even if Bethany might have a bit of jealousy for her sisters' home, there is no way she will let that come in between them.


Gift time! And hugging time. I think everyone knows that this will be Arwen and Molly's last big holiday with the family.

• 1 Carrot

He is seriously so broken up about this carrot. I think he's having an identity crisis. Is he a horse or is he human?


Look how beautiful! God, I love these worlds.

I know a lot of players are upset with how small the world of Del Sol Valley seems to be (with so few lots and things) but, honestly, I play with such a small number of households that I really don't mind - especially if the set dressing is incredible, which it seems to be. I definitely would have loved some beach lots but I feel as if that day will come.


Arwen, you... literally just left our house where we had a big meal? You're starving? And you're going to choose to say this to the woman who cooked your meal? Oh, honey, you've got a big storm comin'.


Or not. Beatrix is too blissed out making this snow angel to be upset about a potentially gross meal.


Father Winter is here even if the party is long over.


I think Beatrix is a little frightened. Is this a deep-seeded fear from her childhood that I didn't know about?

Ah, well, she seems to have gotten over it. I thought this dude was supposed to bring presents, not plop down on our couch for a conversation.


What is it with these people and no coats?! I appreciate Sai going out to shovel the greenhouse's porch but, dude, put on a jacket. Even the most manliest of men isn't that tough.


O... kay. Father Winter is still here and he looks a little, dare I say it, juice happy. Is Adrienne reading him a story? What is happening?!


Briony is on dish duty and she actually seems to be enjoying it? I mean, I'm not going to call her a freak but... if the shoe fits, am I right?


I love when the pets curl up on the human furniture to sleep even when there are more than enough pet beds available. Get your hair all over my couch, Lola, it's fine.


Not only did Sai pick lemons off of this wild lemon tree with his bare arms and bare ankles, he just chose to stand here and check his phone. Is he weather immune or something?!

(Upon further inspection, he is, in fact, immune to the weather. Custom trait life.)


Briony and Adrienne took to the desert for some odd reason. I guess digging for stuff while wearing nice clothes is a fun activity for them?


Those heels! How is that comfortable?! Sims are freaks.


Fishing makes a bit more sense as this household really likes to have fresh ingredients in their fridge.


Dog With Forgotten Name is normally so mean looking but he's so cute here! That little tongue!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! PUPPIES!

Hahahahahaha. Why is this so funny to me? Poor mama got sick and fell asleep in it. The things Sims do for parenthood.


Speaking of impending parenthood, here's Beatrix and her beautiful belly. She's kind of over it, I think.


Mama pampering mama. I love this bonding time. So sweet and pure.


We got ourselves a pupper! This is Mango! Stunning! Look how mean the dad looks in the background.

Forgotten Name Dog: Mango?! You named our child Mango!? I've had enough.


Why are we outside in the cold with someone who looks like a doctor?


Aw, shit, that looks a lot like parental panic, doesn't it!?


Um. Okay? Sai decided to eat instead of supporting his wife. That's cool.


For most of the delivery, this is as far as Sai would go - the door's window. Go in there and cheer on Beatrix, damn it!


He made it into the room just in time (and is awkwardly stepping into the bassinet?). He still hasn't calmed down any, though.

Well, this is it! Next installment will be the first part of the C generation. I can't believe it - both that I am still playing this alphabetacy and that I am still keeping up fairly well with posting it! Here's to me and here's to you, reader. See you next time.
