The Miguels: Round 7 / A Berry Boring Christmas



I'm finally back to Apple Grove.  Even though I played the Miguel family back in March, I'm just now getting around to blogging about it.  Maybe I'm tired of Christmas? :P  Anyway, I decided to go ahead and write it, whether or not it's a very interesting story.  And, it just isn't, trust me.  But what can I do?  The Miguels are flat broke.  They can't even afford a Christmas tree.

I'll start off with some kid spam.  This is Strawberry.  She's cute and sweet, just as her name implies.

Photobucket

Here's a closer picture so you can see her freckles.

Raspberry has learned to walk.  She's wearing her sister's hand-me-down clothes.

Photobucket

She enjoys playing with toys.

Photobucket

And she's pretty darn cute.

Photobucket

While he was home from work, Miguel enjoyed part of his vacation time fixing the plumbing problems.  This seems like the kind of stuff that happens IRL.

Photobucket

Almond worked at home on some architectural drawings to try to earn a little Christmas money.

Photobucket

He did so much work at home that he maxed his creative skills.

Photobucket

The good thing about the drawings is that most of them don't look tempting enough to keep.  But then, this one is only worth $93.  Since Almond is a draftsman, it does seem more realistic that he should be drawing rather than painting.

Photobucket

Strawberry is sweet as always, and made friends with her little sister.

Photobucket

The welcome wagon arrived to welcome them to their new home.

Photobucket

Almond and Violet discussed the move over a salad.  Even though they were really broke and heavily mortgaged right now, it really was nice to have their own home.

Photobucket

Oh, and to add to the fun with poverty, Violet is pregnant again.

Photobucket

And is now in her 2nd trimester.

Photobucket

Almond has been feeling nauseated lately.  He thinks maybe he's still feeling "space-sick" from his recent trip in the UFO.

Photobucket

But I don't think he should believe he's just gaining weight from eating all that salad.

Photobucket

Raspberry had a birthday party.

Photobucket

Yep.

Photobucket

She chose the dragon outfit.

Photobucket

She wanted some electronic entertainment, so I figured this would be a nice birthday gift for her, as well as Christmas gift for the entire family.

Photobucket

Now that Raspberry and Strawberry are the same size, they're sure to have more fun playing together, and they'll be BFFs before you know it.

Photobucket

The girls both got fire trucks from "Santa."  They're both very nice little girls - Strawberry with 7 nice points and Raspberry with 9, so I figured they deserved some fun.

Photobucket

And now that the holidays are over, they get a bonus - they don't have to go back to school yet.

Thank you for bearing with me and reading.  Hopefully the next family will be a little more exciting.

Welcome back to blogging!

The girls sure are cute, even if their family is boring. And I'm sure things will be a lot less boring next time, with the results of TWO pregnancies. (Don't you have the triplets and quads hack? Imagine how many babies they might have!)

Thank you for reading, Sojourner! :)

And oh my - it did occur to me that they could have twins, but I had forgotten about the triplets and quads hack since it happens so rarely - usually to the poorest sims in the smallest houses - like the Miguels, LOL.

I'm finally back to read what you write.
Looking forward to 8 babies next time, then :D

Oh my goodness, 2 more pregnancies. This won't be a boring family next time. I like the girls though.
