We're back in the legacy house with Derek and Alexander watching the game.
I don't know how it happened but at the last birthday party at Astrid's house she had a fight with her dad and they were no longer best friends. To try and patch things up Derek invited her over for a game of kicky-back.
Once again another birthday party. Here we have little Brandon Bertino about to become a toddler.
A close up as the candles are blown out.
And poof! He's a toddler, cute too I might add.
Here grandma Dagmar is teaching Brandon his first words.
He made it! Derek is finally Captain Hero, unfortunately his lifetime want is to have three kids graduate from university which isn't going to happen since they grew up before the expansion was installed. Still the first Captain Hero is pretty exciting.
All in a day's work for Captain Hero.
*This is one of my favourite photos.
Don't look too excited grandpa, potty training may not be fun but it's very necessary!
One last close up before your big birthday Dagmar.
Here it comes my first sim to become an elder.
Dagmar is working up the guts to blow out all those candles.
Here she goes!
That wasn't so bad.
After fixing herself up a bit.
Dagmar discusses cooking chili with Anthony.
Sleeping peacefully, I know it looks a little odd but soon Derek will be joining her.
Another picture of their room.
Grandma (who actually looks like one now) after tucking in her grandkids.
Derek helps Brandon take his first steps.
Having grandparents around to teach those toddler skills sure is handy.
Off to fight crime and save the world.
I know in the last update that featured Anthony and Dina I didn't get a picture of Geoffrey as a kid after he blew out the candles. Well here he is hanging out with Benjamin after school.
Geoffrey enjoying some grilled cheese with his Aunt and Grandma.
Looks like a double birthday party is happening at the legacy house.
It's Benjamin's teen birthday.
Time to eat cake.
And now it's time for the founder of this legacy to become an elder, Go Derek, you can do it!
Blowing them out.
Newly elder Derek cleans up some plates while Benjamin tells Anthony about his school work and Astrid and Alexander catch up on things.
Alexander and Astrid pillow fighting.
While in the background their parents make out.
Benjamin and Ivy having a drink from the new punch dispenser.
Derek and Dagmar are now old but I still think they're a sweet couple.
In keeping with my plan to incorporate all the sims in Pleasantview in my story, I decided to drop by the Broke residence. I was certainly surprised when Brandi became pregnant considering her husband had passed away. Here she is having mac 'n' cheese with her two boys Dustin and Beau.
Beau playing cops and robbers with Geoffrey Bertino.
After an uneventful pregnancy Brandi gave birth to little Nathan. Here he is as a toddler with his big brother trying to teach him how to walk.
Dustin is a good big brother tucking in his siblings and helping them out with their homework.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't act like a teenager, here he is at the mall chatting up a girl.
Dustin admires Angela Pleasant.
Since his mom became pregnant and is now having to stay at home with Nathan, Dustin took an after school job in the business career track.
Time for Nathan's birthday, poor boy grew up in pink pjs when he became a toddler and his family was too poor to buy different ones, I think Brandi was hoping for a girl.
Happy Birthday Nathan!
With both his brothers in school now Brandi can get a job and Dustin feels like he can head off to college.
Leaving Pleasantview behind Dustin decides to go to a big city college where he thinks the opportunities will be better and he can get a job making a lot of money.
Dustin quickly makes friends with the people living in his dorm.
He works hard to keep his grades up so he can earn enough scholarships to pay for his tuition. He definitely enjoys the university life.
