Since everyone's asleep, we'll very quietly end here. And you get the next family portrait, with Chandler as an elder, and Samuel in the family now, yay! In the next update, we'll spend some time over at Rosemary and Cadet's house! 

. . . before curling up with Samuel in the master bedroom for some sweet dreams together. They haven't woohooed yet, but just give them time! 

Veronica shakes her booty in a happy dance . . .  

And Grey and Rosemary, having shared their not brand new, but still wonderful love for each other, snuggle up together for some sleep. 

Aww, even across the room from each other, they can't stop thinking about their just having simultaneously fell in love! 

And Samuel says it back! Now love is LITERALLY in the air! (I crack myself up.) 

Again, love must be in the air, because that same night, Veronica finally says those three magic words to Samuel . . .  

And Grey asks Rosemary to join him in the upstairs bedroom for a little "fun." ;-) 

That night after the party, Mist has a muffin before bed and chats with her sister about fish: "I wonder why this house has never had fish? Maybe it's because you don't earn points for keeping them alive." 

She also loves to pretend like she's a famous musician on the piano, as well, with the attitude and everything! 

Mist, meanwhile, has a great time singing Happy Birthday over and over again on the podium, pretending like she's trying out for "Strangetownian Idol." 

China didn't want to stop playing with the noisemaker! (Actually she was late for the party; she's cute though, so that makes up for it!) 

A close up of our new elder in the house. He looks pretty good for a geezer. :-) Veronica hopes she looks that good when she's an elder! 

Everybody cheers for Chandler; his kids, Kashan and Veronica are especially happy to give their dad a special day. (I think his other son, Cerulean was at work.) 

Chandler acts like he's going to beat up the birthday cake, instead of EAT it up. He's so weird. :-) 

Captain Chandler, seeing Elderhood on the horizon . . .  

"Check me out, Dad, I got an A! And when I grow up, maybe I'll be able to get as many skills as you!" 

Grey and Rosemary enjoy some boogieing in the living room while Joel works on some skills. 

It's another party! This time, for Chandler, who has decided to stop taking Elixir and finally become an Elder! Rosemary and Kashan are there for the party. 

Samuel makes himself useful around the house, as well. (It also helps build up his skills since he's Knowledge Aspiration, hee hee.) 

Not bad, huh? And I love how happy and grateful he looks! 

For her part, Veronica treats Samuel to his own makeover at the spa, new haircut, facial, etc. She also buys him some new clothes, ones that he always wanted but were too much for a bartender to afford! When he gets home (thinking, "Wow, I have a real 'home' now, where someone loves me!") and he looks in the mirror, he sees how much Veronica cares for him, as well as how much he cares for her, reflected in it. 

Next, he cooks her (and the rest of the family; he needs to impress them, too!) his special spaghetti recipe using homemade pasta that takes hours to make!
