Chapter 139

Vanessa has officially moved into the Parsons household!

Vanessa: "This tree looks horrible already!"

Kyrie: "Great... Vanessa is just like my family when it comes to decorating the Winterfest tree."

Kyrie: "This ornament would look good right here-"

Dylan: "Stop right there! That ornament is ugly, Kyrie!"

Kyrie: "Hey, mom! Watch out!"

More and more Parsons' gathered around to decorate the Winterfest tree.

Who's eyebrows glitch more than Mackenzie's? No ones.

Let's move this train along, y'all.

Dylan: "Beauty takes time."

Vanessa: "Exactly. It took me a long time to find these beautiful ornaments, I'm not rushing anything."

Kyrie: "Can't we decorate just a little faster?"

Wade: "The quicker we decorate the tree, the less time for insults and arguments."

Kyrie: "Those are some beautiful ornaments, babe."

Wade: "That's not what everyone said to me during my first tree decorating session with this family."

Wade: "They all said my ornaments were ugly! Not one ornament made it on the tree!"

Dylan: "That's because they were ugly."

Summer: "You guys need any help decorating the tree?"

Kyrie: "No thanks, we don't want it to look ugly."

Vanessa: "It looks horrible. We need to start over."

Mackenzie: "I'm out."

Kyrie: "She's kidding, Kenzie. Please say she's kidding."

Servo: "Don't make me partake in this... please."

The tree is looking beautiful!

It should be finished in no time.

Ooh, I love the popcorn decorations!

Dylan: "I don't. They're hideous. This is the last time I let Mackenzie decorate anything."

The tree decorating is finished! The tree looks beautiful!

P, where were you? You missed the decorating of the Winterfest tree.

Penelope: "On purpose."

Tucker: "Who's gonna share their hotdog with me?"

*Crickets*

Penelope: "I can't wait to see what Father Winter gets me for Winterfest."

Dylan: "I bet I'm on the nice list."

Sure...

Sariah: "Ha! Mom? On the nice list?!"

Kyrie: "A present for my beautiful girlfriend. I hope she'll love it!"

The gifts are starting to pile up!

Kyrie: "I love giving presents! Hopefully I'll get a nice gift in return."

What are you so smitten about, Servo?

Servo: "The microwave was looking mighty fine today."

Servo: "And so is Vanessa."

Vanessa: "Is this weird robot thing flirting with me?"

Summer: "I got a picture of Servo making out with the toaster!"

Sariah: "What a player, I thought he was into the TV."

I thought he was into the microwave...

Dylan: "We can't keep up with Servo!"
Penelope: "He's even more of a player than Zayn!"

I love the pretty Winterfest lights!

Elliott: "I can't wait to get outta here."

Happy birthday, Elliott!

Elliott aged up into a young adult! Now get out.

Happy birthday, Dylan!

Happy birthday, Wade!

Dylan aged up into an elder! She looks so much like Maya.

Wade also aged up into an elder!

Dylan: "I'm the cutest elder sim you've ever seen."

Dylan: "But I still don't consider myself that old."

Wade: "She's in denial. She's super old."

Dylan: "I heard that."

Vanessa: "I can't wait to open the Winterfest gifts!"

Kyrie: "Me either. You're gonna love what I got you."

Vanessa: "It had better be diamonds."

Kyrie: "I'm screwed."

Emily: "Don't tell Kenzie, but I got her a toy doctor set. She needs to stop being a savage and learn some empathy."

Mackenzie: "What's empathy?"

More importantly, why do your eyebrows keep glitching?!

Button: "Maybe if I guard the food, Servo will let me eat it."

Kyrie: "Oh, what's that? Looks like a mistletoe has appeared."

Vanessa: "Now we gotta kiss."

*Kiss*

Kyrie: "Was that corny?"

Vanessa: "Very."

Wade: "Hmm... I wonder what my present is..."

Wade: "Wait... what?! This gift is horrible!"

Wade: "Oh, thank gosh. That's not my gift."

Time for P to open a holiday cracker!

Kapow!

Penelope: "I got some candy? Awesome! I wonder what flavor it is."

As it turns out, I discovered afterwards that there's a holiday cracker plushie collection. I've noticed the Parsons already have one of the plushies in their inventory from a while ago. If I had known this beforehand, I would have made them open a lot more holiday crackers. The Parsons' definitely need to complete this plushie collection! That will be a huge goal for the next Winterfest.

Penelope: *Munch, munch*

Penelope: "Caramel flavor! My favorite!"

Wade: "You wanna tell me what you got me for Winterfest?"

Dylan: "It's a surprise! You'll love it!"

Let's see what's inside this holiday cracker.

Kapow!

Mackenzie: "Hmm... I wonder what flavor this is."

Mackenzie: "I have no idea, but it tastes awesome!"

Kyrie: "Guess who made the Winterfest ham?"

Kyrie: "That's right, it was me."

It was you for the last 5 minutes. Servo couldn't take making the ham anymore and stormed off. Kyrie took over.

Kyrie: "Come and get the ham that I spent 5 whole minutes making!"

Penelope: "I think Kyrie added too much salt."

Kyrie: "I added way too much salt."

Wade: "Let's hope our sodium levels remain in good range."

What a lovely Winterfest morning.

Vanessa: "This tastes-"

Summer: "Horrible! Kyrie is the worst chef ever!"

Ooh! Time to open the Winterfest gifts!

Summer: "What did we get for Kyrie, Sariah?"
Sariah: "Nothing! HA!"

Kyrie: "That's not nice."

Penelope: "I can't wait to open my gift!"

Servo: "Let's see... what did I recieve?"

Servo: "Really? A carrot?"

Servo: "Get this out of my sight."

Servo may have not liked the carrot, but I was very happy about it! The Parsons' don't have a carrot plant yet, so thank you whoever gave Servo the carrot.

Sairah: "I wonder what's inside."

Sariah: "It sounds expensive."

Servo: "I can't believe these sims had the audacity to give me a carrot for Winterfest! Last year they gave me kitchen utensils! When will my hard work around here finally be rewarded?!"

Mackenzie: "My turn."

Mackenzie: "I wonder what it is!"

Mackenzie: "A baby doll doctor set?"

Mackenzie: "Awesome! Thank you, mommy!"

Emily: "She'd better gain some empathy now, or I'll become more insane than this whole family combined."

Mackenzie: "I love it!"

Wade: "Alright, let's see what my darling wife got for me."

Wade: "A freaking perch?!"

Wade: "That's for amateurs."

Wade: "Get that out of my sight."

Dylan: "How dare he. I bought... I mean caught that fish with my bare hands!"

Wade: "No more perches!"

Mackenzie: "Hmm... interesting."

Mackenzie: "It appears you have no heart."

Mackenzie: "Don't worry, I have the same thing. Let's check your temperature."

Penelope: "What did I get?"

Penelope: "Who managed to fit an entire TV in here?!"

Penelope: "I love it!"

Summer: "How did you fit an entire TV in that tiny box?"

Emily: "Who said it was me? I'm not that determined."

Vanessa: "I can't wait to see what Kyrie got for me."

Vanessa: "A bunch of flowers?"

Vanessa: "I asked for diamonds. Get this out of my sight."

Vanessa: "Yay for diamonds!"

Kyrie: "Looks like Vanessa didn't like my gift."

Kyrie: "Hopefully I got something that I like."

Kyrie: "Woah!"

Kyrie: "Some archaeology tools? Awesome!"

Dylan: "Ooh, this sounds expensive!"

Dylan: "I wonder what it is."

Dylan: "An entire oven?"

Dylan: "We already have the most expensive oven. At least I can sell this for some extra simoleons."

Penelope: "Did you like your gift? I picked it!"

Kyrie: "It was awesome! Thanks, P."

Emily: "I wonder what I got."

Emily: "A bunch of books? Awesome!"

Gather around, y'all. It's singing time.

♫ Fwingle zibbs, fwingle zibbs, fwingle ba zu lorn! ♫

♫ Oobe ban e zorbi fwibs zanube fusa de, HEY! ♫

Great job, y'all!

Dylan: "We all know I'm the Beyoncé of this group."

Mackenzie: "I believe you've gone insane while living here for a few hours."

Mackenzie: "Don't worry, I have the cure. Hold still."

It's such a lovely day!

Everyone is having a blast.

Everyone except Wade, of course.

Wade: "I hate this random sim lady."

Random Sim Lady: "Fishing sucks!"

Servo is upgrading the washer and dryer again, but not without Sumi keeping an eye on him.

Dylan and Wade decided to take a dip in the pool.

Yes, they're elders and I'm worried.

But it's nice outside, so why not?

Emily has sold one of her books to an official publisher for the first time! This is so exciting! This book should make a lot more royalties than her self published books.

Tucker and Cashew are so excited, they decided to jump in another puddle and get dirty again.

Mackenzie: "You're awesome, mommy!"

Emily: "I really am, aren't I?"

Uh... what... what is going on here?

Kyrie: "I love doggos and bunnies."

What the heck are y'all doing? It's getting weird around here again.

Mackenzie: "I'll just pretend I'm normal by doing my homework."
Vanessa: "Zzz..."

Aaand now Wade is mopping up a puddle outside.

Good job, Wade.

Wade: "I'm doing it so that the dogs will stop jumping in puddles and always getting dirty. I'm sick of bathing them 5 times a day."

Work smarter, not harder.

The taro plant has evolved into perfect quality!

And Dylan and Sariah literally almost froze to death from being in the pool at this time of night. Dummies.

Dylan: "Hey! I'm not that dumb!"

Father Winter is here!

Father Winter: "Who wants gifts?"

Mackenzie: "I do, I do!"

Father Winter: "Why, hello there, Mackenzie."

Father Winter: "You've been very good this year. Here's your gift."

Mackenzie: "I've been good? Have you not seen my savage moments?"

Mackenzie: "A lump of clay? Awesome! Thank you, Father Winter!"

Not the lump of clay again! I've been avoiding it for months!

Father Winter: "You're welcome, happy Winterfest!"

Kyrie: "Wassup, Father Winter?"

Father Winter: "Hello there, Kyrie, nice to see you."

Kyrie: "I love Father Winter!"

Fifi: "What a weirdo."

Father Winter: "Here's your gift."

Kyrie: "More archaeology tools? Awesome!"

Kyrie: "Thanks, Father Winter!"

Father Winter: "You're very welcome, happy Winterfest!"

Kyrie: "This is the best Winterfest ever!"

And the weirdest.

Penelope: "Hi, Father Winter!"

Father Winter: "Hello there, Penelope."

Penelope: "Did I get a gift this year?"

Father Winter: "Of course you did! You've been very good this year."

Penelope: "Eek! I can't wait to see what I got!"

Penelope: "I know it'll be good."

Penelope: "Woah!"

Penelope: "The MotionMonitor Gaming Mat?! This is the best gift ever!"

Father Winter: "Ho, ho, ho! Enjoy your gift, Penelope."

Penelope: "This gift is too good! I must be your favorite, right?"

Father Winter: "Yes, but don't tell anyone. Happy Winterfest!"

Father Winter: "And you! You have been a very bad dog this year, Cashew!"

Cashew: "Hmm?"

Cashew: "Jumping in pee puddles and getting dirty all the time isn't bad! It's fun!"

Winterfest has concluded! It was all kinds of weird... but also fun!
