December 2032 - Paradise City, Nevada
Craig household - Lucas is 25, Andrea is 25, Elliott is 7, Jamison is 2
It's Christmas time at the Craig house in Paradise City. Andrea loves this time of year when they pull the tree from storage and decorate it together.
Yes, maybe it is one of those fake trees, but it works just as well and is still pretty when it's all decorated.
It's still pretty warm here in this desert town even though it's late December. It's not at all like the winters Lucas is used to having back in Pine Hollow. He takes late night jogs to do it in cooler temperatures.
Tucker and Cynthia still come to visit them as much as they can. It's really nice having some family not too far away. Raven and Elliott are at that age where they can argue over everything, even if it's something that doesn't really seem like it should be an argument.
But then they're right back to laughing and playing only minutes later, like nothing ever happened. Cynthia has told Andrea that it's a usual childhood thing. Violet would argue a lot with her cousin Charlotte when they were little.
Maybe watching Elliott do his arguing helps Andrea get through the arguing moments in a small movie she's working. The director has a lot of compliments toward her on her acting.

Christmas seems to come quickly, even though Elliott complains many times over those days that it's so far away and Christmas will never get here. But finally it is, and the boys are excited to open their presents.
One thing Lucas and Andrea decided to buy for the boys is a new bike for both. Elliott insists on taking his out for his first ride as soon as he unwraps it.
Andrea doesn't let him ride off on their own. She doesn't trust Elliott not to go riding off on some adventure in his head. So she rides her own new bike not too far behind. It's been a great Christmas, even if they are still far away from most of their family.

Apparently they were all good this year and got nice gifts:
This post is the end of 2032. We're heading into 2033, which brings along more unplanned events in my Sims' lives, lol. :)
I love the landscapes! Andrea appears to be holding her own LOL! Raven and Elliott look like they might be setting up for a long-term friendship which is a wonderful thing. Those gifts look amazing - I could manage with gifts like that!
ReplyDeleteNice! I've never had all my sims get decent gifts before. There's always someone who gets something crappy or an empty box, lol!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun to see. I don't live in the desert but we do have hot Christmases, so it felt familiar to me.
Those are fantastic gifts! My sims never get that many good ones, lol! Looking forward to the new year! Your sims have had a very eventful time lately! :)
