Chapter 16: A Milestone

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.

Even though they both finally look their age, the founder and his wife still look good. Age has served them well, I think - like a fine wine. ;O))

Too bad about the LTW though. :O( Ah well. I guess it'll have to wait for the heir to deal with. :O>

Yeah - the grandparents look like grandparents! :) The kids sure are cute, I can't wait to see what they are like as they get older.
