Finally, for today's update, I'll close with a shot of Lavender spontaneously playing in the tub for the last time before she became an elder. 

And here Cyan uses the newest career object (I've had it for a while; just kept forgetting to take a pic of it), the hydroponic garden (the Slacker award, thanks to Daryl). 

In this shot, Cyan was so stinky from punching the bag for hours (I forgot about him in the pool house) that he actually brought his pancakes upstairs to eat so he wouldn't offend his family. I thought that was very nice of him. 

A close up of the befuddled Ice. 

A couple of close-ups of the embarrassment. Here, Cyan is shocked. You can see Ice in the background: "Anyone want cereal? Hey, what's going on?" 

Lavender and Daryl were getting all frisky here in front of her brothers and sons and ALL of the guys were so embarrassed! I thought it was funny. 

And here, Orchid meets her great-grandma. Lucky for her, she didn't pee her pants. 

Speaking of ghosts, here's Weldon's first haunting. I think he looks really cool as a Captain Hero ghost! 

And now some random pictures that are out of order, but taken in this update. Fun stuff. Here, Grey is visited by Lilac in the bathroom: "But Grandma, I'm naked!" Lilac: "I changed your diapers boy!" 

Okay, they all look happy (and a lot alike) here. It's kind of fun having lots of teenagers in the house. 

I love this picture of the three boys. Ice: "You're my favorite, Teal!" Teal: "Yesssss!!!" Denim: "I knew it." 

Denim looks EVIL here, talking with Ice, or should I say, plotting? Maybe he should go in the criminal career! He has the evil expression down! 

I got a lot of good shots of the teen boys in the house. Here's Teal and Denim, almost looking like a cheesy twins split screen special effect.

That's much better. Another sweet elder picture. 

Mmmm, cake. I think Daryl needs a more sophisticated haircut now, and some different clothes. 

Daryl has been a very sweet romance sim--I would send him to flirt with others when he had the want, but his wants would always spin back to wanting to be romantic with just Lavender. So, he's never gone beyond flirting with any other Sim. I am very impressed with Daryl and so glad that Lavender didn't have a life like her mom did with Weldon! 

Here Daryl is, right after his transition, wearing his grandfather-in-law's shirt. I really need to get some more elder clothes! 

The next day, Daryl has a small party with just the family.

Meet our beautiful gen 4 heiress, Orchid Legasea! 

Mom, Grey, and Cyan show up just in time for the hand admiring. 

In all the birthday madness, Orchid doesn't get a party, but transitions in the kitchen, with Daryl and Teal watching. 

Daryl still finds Lavender as appealing as ever, but they aren't as far apart in age as it looks--his bithday is tomorrow! But, he spends one night with an "older woman." 

This is Justine, sharing a first kiss (for both of them) with Teal. Teal doesn't know about his brother taking her out at night while he's asleep! 

You saw Tiffany Riley in the last shot--well, Denim thinks she's pretty cute, maybe first kiss material, but he has been sneaking out at night (he's the bad boy of the family) with his brother's girlfriend, Justine Smith! 

Lavender playing with her last toddler. "Wheeee!!!"
