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!!!" 

Lavender transitioned the next day, but didn't want a big fuss. (Actually she transitioned at Ice's party, but I'm trying to break up the many birthdays in this installment.) What is it with them growing up into their mom's elder outfit? 

But he did manage to eventually get them to pose--here's the final result, next to Lavender's self portrait of herself as a teen. 

On the day before her elder birthday, Lavender and Daryl had their portrist painted by Grey. It was difficult for him, as they couldn't stop kissing and cuddling!

Teal not only practices piano; he also takes painting lessons from Mom: "Here's how you paint a scary clown." 

A close-up of Ice. I think he's really cute. I'm really glad he became a knowledge sim and I can keep him around! 

Here's teenage Ice. Apparently, he likes romance novels. Actually he loves reading anything, since he has decided to join his uncles and dedictae his like to pursuing knowledge! (I rolled a 6 again and got to choose, so I'm building my army of stargazers.) 

Then it was suddenly Ice's turn for a birthday (I really had A LOT of birthdays one after the other)! Hmm, looks like the maid is thinking about Teal--wait a few years, Genesis!

Well, she is cute, although in this picture, you can only see the back of her head . . . I thought this was a really cute picture of a daddy with his little girl. 

But, before Denim transitioned, he watched his little sister's party--it was just the family, but at least she had a cake! 

He really does! 

Denim LOVES money! 

Poor Denim age transitioned again, this time by himself--the poor thing keeps getting forgotten about. It's a classic "middle child" situation. At least he did "grow up well" this time and looks pretty happy. 

Grey also loves snuggling his niece, especially since he doesn't think he'll ever have children himself. Lavender and Daryl never have to worry about getting a nanny! 

And here he is giving Orchid a bottle after another one of his great parties--he wants to be at least as popular as his great-grandpa was! 

Everyone loves taking care of baby Orchid. Here, Teal snuggles his little sister. 

The boys, Denim and Ice, sleeping. They're cute when they're sleeping, and not splashing puddles!
