Meadow seems pretty happy.


A break from all the studying.

Great party, Benjamin couldn't make it as he was looking for work.
(Actually I forgot him in the sim bin and couldn't invite him.)

It's time for an anniversary party! The family gathers to celebrate Derek and Dagmar's marriage.


Looks like Anthony's gained a little weight recently.


A romantic moment while the family starts the entertainment for the evening.

The family gathers to cheer him on.


Seems everyone prefers cake to spaghetti this evening.
