The Bauers: Round 8 / Wild Thing

We're back to the Bauer family, which is my simself family.

The Webbs: Round 8 / Aqua-Sim Is Lame

Welcome back to the Webb family.   

The Fletchers: Round 8 / Happy Feet

I'm finally getting back around to updating Apple Grove.  This is the second family in Round 8 - the Fletchers.

The Tuckers: Round 8 / Fun in the Sun

This is the beginning of Round 8! :) There have been no major changes in the neighborhood - yet. But I played this family back in September 2012. There will be some changes coming later in the round, as I can never seem to resist experimenting. ;)

The Goldmans & Andrews: Round 7 / Christmas Turkeys

This is the last house in Round 7, and I couldn't be happier - except I have to blog about these stupid people chickens.  But I've made it as tolerable as possible for myself by making them wear chicken suits...

The Webbs 2: Round 7 / Naughty or Nice?

Washington Webb recently graduated from Applebama University, and now has his own place.  He should feel quite happy right now, but the fact is that all of his family are angry at him, and the rest of the people in town are gossiping about him.  So Christmas is pretty much over for him at this point - no sense in decorating. ;)

The Bauers 2: Round 7 / The Christmas That Almost Wasn't

Okay, well the title is a little more dramatic than necessary.  But except for the snow outside and the tiny tree decoration on the kitchen counter, it really didn't feel very Christmas-y at the Bauers' apartment building.

The Grahams 2: Round 7 / Harry Potter and the Holiday of Fire

I played this house about a year ago, so once again I'm left guessing what happened - except from what I can tell from the pictures.

The Pedersons and Porters: Round 7 / Seasonal Affective Disorder

It's been almost a year since I last worked on Apple Grove.  I feel bad I've neglected my sims so long. I'm just going to blame Seasonal Affective Disorder, LOL.  The winter in Apple Grove is just too long, and it's still only December there. ;)  Even so, the Pedersons and Porters didn't have much of a Christmas.  With 3 toddlers there was very little time and no room for decorations - especially the traditional flaming Christmas tree.  They already celebrated at their parents' (Webb) house anyway, but that turned out to be a rather upsetting situation. 

I actually played this family back in August of last year, but never got around to blogging.  Hopefully, I will be able to remember or at least bluff my way through this update.

The Andersons: Round 7 / Boxing Day

Welcome to Toddlermania the Anderson family.  Charity has so much to do, that there really should be four of her.

The Foremans: Round 7 / No Peeking!

I missed my Apple Grove sims, so it's fun to be updating them again.  Cassandra made this fantastic face, and it was definitely inspiring.

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.

The Jeffresses: Round 7 / Santa Bites

Okay, he's not really that bad, entirely.  But, he is biting a cookie - a Santa cookie, even..  It just bites that you get so little return on your efforts to get him to come to your house - when he bothers to show up at all.

The Fanceys: Round 7 / All I Want For Christmas Is You?

The last time we saw the Fanceys, it was just briefly in the last University update. Baby Franc was deposited into the arms of his grandparents Lara and Heath, so that Coupon could continue on with her wild, partying ways at University of Applebama.

The Fletchers 2: Round 7 / But the Fire Is So Delightful...

♪ Oh the weather outside is frightful... ♪

Okay, not really, but there is snow.  The weather is "frightful" here IRL, at least for some people.  We're getting a little snow here in the midwest/southern U.S.A., but that meant we had preemptive school closings this morning - even before the snow arrived.  I think the school people are just eager to get a snow day because we haven't had any snow yet this winter, and we're getting ready to run out of winter.  Real life Christopher is happy to have a snow day.  But enough about real life, let me get back to Apple Grove's Christmas round, and the Rudy Fletcher house.

The Grahams: Round 7: The House Without a Christmas Tree

This was the name of a movie from the 70's.  The name seemed to fit this round at the Graham house.  Does it make me kinda old to know this? Nah, I won't be old until I outgrow playing with sims, so I'll never grow up. Plus, I use moisturizer. ;)



Sophie had found a way around using the reagents, which she said are basically only good for one thing - decoration.  She said, "If you're going to be a witch, you shouldn't be forced into making arts and crafts all day just so you can do a little magic." 

The Tuckers 2: Round 7/ So This Is Christmas?

Yes, this is the face that best represents the Christmas spirit in the Tucker house this season.  You've been warned.

The Shibatas: Round 7 / Santa Baby?

As we arrive at the Shibata house, it's  somewhat decorated for Christmas, and there's already plenty of snow.

University: Round 7 / The Nightmare Before, During, and After Christmas

Welcome to the University of Applebama Christmas Special!  I am your host, Mr. Melty, and I will be showing you just a fraction of what happened at U of A in Round 7, because I'm melting from all the heat and drama.
