Yay congrats!  I have the worst time trying to get beautiful wedding shots like yours.  You'll have to send me some tips.  My photographers always get distracted or try to sit down or take too long to get the camera out.  The winter wedding was perfect, and I'm happy to see the resurgence of the love shack :)

Don't ask me for tips; I usually get horrible pictures! This time, I finally just queued up "Get Married" and controlled Kaylynn the entire time so that she wouldn't walk away. I entered photo mode immediately, to make sure I wasn't too close or far away, then adjusted as much as I could to be perfect until the wedding started. Wow, maybe I do have some tips!

I'm so happy that I got to have a winter wedding with a "blue" Immortal, since blue + winter white = pretty! And who doesn't love a nice love shack?

There will be, trust me!

He/she is indeed a real cutie. I can report nothing else, in the interest of not spoiling the suspense!

I liked the thing with the newspaper article. I'm so glad that everyone
has a lover :D

For some reason, whenever I hear of Thornton Wolff, I think of the chocolates.

Thank you! I'm currently on the nooboo's toddler stage, and he/she is just adorable!

Chapter 5 - Welcome Baby ___
 
  The boys have been spending every evening in front of the stereo to satisfy their manly self-esteem. It's quite cute, really, although they sometimes stay up past their bedtime.



  Oh, and did I mention I picked out my maternity wear before my pregnancy was confirmed? When I finally did "the spin" a few days later, my sundress was already prepared and I rejoiced to feel the new life growing within my self.



  Thornton also seemed happy when I told him as we cuddled on our bed. Happy, but apprehensive. I've heard gossip around town that my husband does not like children, but I refuse to believe that such a thing is possible.



  At any rate, he quickly took over all household chores so that I had no reason for stress, and even wrote thank-you cards for all the wedding presents!

  "Dear Mr. Langerak, it has come to my attention that you have been constantly writing love letters to and attempting to seduce my wife. Please cease immediately, or I will teleport you to Moonlight Falls and allow my cousins to exact their dubious justice. Thank you, Mr. Wolff.



  He also sent me a lovely romantic Sing-A-Gram when I gained a little baby weight. The microphone broke halfway through the singer's performance, but 'twas a very thoughtful gesture!



  Oh, and he bought me a gnome! Alex named him "Rock," which seems apt.



  Meanwhile, I hired a butler named Latosha. Mainly just to keep the childish Zelda occupied, as she is easily bored after finishing with the garden.



  I took advantage of my leave from work to continue supermaxing cooking--I'm already at over 40 meals! I also completed several cooking and gardening opportunities, bringing me closer and closer to immortality.



  The baby ended up growing bigger and bigger--and, consequentially, making me bigger and bigger! I don't mind a bit, since my child will be strong and healthy once conceived. However, I don't particularly like being "larger" than my usual weight--it makes going around corners quite awkward!



  Whenever my weight makes my back ache, Thornton magically appears to give me a massage. And they say I'm a witch . . .





  I was in the kitchen once more when the pain erupted in my abdomen. Wildly, unable to walk, I looked around for help.



  Zelda and the kids were having a snowball fight outside. The sound of snow and wind was enough to drown out any shouts for help.



  Agnes was making a sculpture of Thornton in the studio, with the music turned up to full volume and the chainsaw whirring away.



  Finally, Kaylynn came inside for a snack--and immediately started freaking out when I told her to go get Thornton. Thornton, Agnes--anyone, a hormonal teenage girl and hormonal pregnant woman is not a good combination!



  Kaylynn finally calmed down--and took a picture of me in labor. Isn't that sweet of her? Now I'll be able to remember the moment of birth for centuries to come!



  She then hurried out into the hallway to celebrate her young adult birthday! Oh, I feel so bad for missing this important moment in my--not daughter, let's go with foster niece--foster niece's life!



  Presently, Thornton and Agnes came out of the studio to applaud Kaylynn's aging up.



  At last, I felt the sparkles surround me and a smile crossed my face as I spun . . .



  Thornton entered just in time to see his son enter the world.



  Oh, dear, I had so hoped to leave with a cliffhanger, but I simply can't resist introducing you to my son! Meet the next heir of the Elysi Immortal Dynasty.



  Aww, nooboo . . .

You have no idea. It was probably one of the more terrifying births I've had in Sims, since there wasn't even anyone to come freak out!

Chapter 6 - The Giving and Receiving of Presents

  Have I shown you Kaylynn's young adult wardrobe yet? Her favorite color is white, which really does suit her coloring, and I think her wardrobe choices really reflect her personality.



  Her Aunt Zelda accompanied Kaylynn to graduation the day after her birthday. Kaylynn won Valedictorian and Most Artistic! We're so proud.



  Thornton and I weren't able to spend much time together, since he was so busy with work, so we made sure to make some time for romance every day--even if "every day" refers to "past midnight." It is totally worth the lack of sleep.





  Of course, Thornton also spends lots of time with his son. You probably want to know what his name is at this point . . . but what's the fun of just saying it? Let me give you a little hint--it's related to Snowflake Day holiday!



  Alex also took care of his little "cousin" before leaving for school.



  Speaking of Snowflake Day, I decided to build a little "extra" living-room and throw a gift-giving party! The family had a wonderful time, as did all of our guests.



  Zelda ended up leaving early to interrogate Kaylynn's love interest, Michael. She didn't seem overly impressed by his passionate rendition of "Firework," but he seems like a very nice young man all the same.



  Meanwhile, Alex was busy wooing his classmate, Bella. This particular teenage boy seems quite attracted to young ladies wearing white, for whatever reason.



  Zelda got tired of talking to Michael and considered Christopher Steel a more attractive conversationalist.



  In this picture, I believe Chris was bitten by a venomous snake of some sort, and Zelda is attempting to suck out the venom. I'm sure that's a perfectly reasonable explanation.



  Agnes probably would have done something love-related, but she was a little busy letting off some steam. Jared Frio is going down!



  Thornton and I decided to participate in a few . . . season-related recreational activities, shall we say.







  We're planning to throw our own, private Snowflake Day celebration inside the bedroom. Sorry, I'd love for you guys to attend, but Thornton says it'll just be the two of us. I wonder what we'll do at our party--oh, wait a minute . . .



  Oh, babies smell so good! All new, and fresh . . . and little Christmas-related nooboo smells just like a pine tree! I swear. Smell him if you don't believe me.

It looks like I've missed quite a few updates the last couple of days! The wedding and bachelorette party were awesome. You've got some great pieces of your founder! The wedding photo is beautiful, and the sculpture in the undies and pregnancy shot are hilarious, too! Haha! The blue themed house decor is quite pretty. Yay for Kaylyn and Alex! I never realized Thorton had grey eyes! I hope the nooboo gets them. Well, that was a whole lot of randomness, wasn't it? I'm enjoying this story. Serena's perspective on things is so light-hearted and entertaining.

Thanks, I really enjoyed how wild they got. I'm trying to make the museum more . . . ah . . . "large" this time, to really show more of each life stage. I'm just glad that Kaylynn leveled in Photography early enough for the large portrait for a nice picture! I always love decorating a house in blue, and I think this decor really fits Serena's personality this time around. As for K&A, they've popped a few wishes for each other but nothing serious, and I kind of want to impregnate the town with cute little Alex clones, so we'll have to see. I'm surprised that no one knew about the grey eyes! You learn something new every day, right? I'm really enjoying writing from Serena's perspective, since she really is just so "silver-lining" about everything!

Well, that was another whole lot of randomness, wasn't it?

That was a cute update. :) Kaylynn and Michael? Nice!

K&M chose each other at Prom, so I suppose fate expressed itself! It really is fun to set Kaylynn up with all the little boys of Sunset Valley--Miraj, Michael, Mortimer . . . actually, she's been with all three in my dynasty attempts she participated in!
