After the graduation ceremony, the family decided to enjoy the rest of their Snowflake Day at the winter festival.
It was certainly full of surprises. Lillian Newbie went into labor, Terrell Kouadio started freaking out and Caren Snyder-Parrott is calmly building a snowman… well, she IS experienced with having children after all. 
Nate: “Mom, Dad… how about us against you two?” 
Addy’s Note: What fun! Each couple stayed together and neither side seemed to be showing any mercy. LOL
They are evenly matched. 
Meanwhile, inside…
Bobby Snyder-Parrott is seen talking with his middle child, Justina. 
Addy’s Note: No fair! She has Nichol’s ears. Kayla, heir generation 2, had them but none of my other heirs have been as lucky.
Caren is ice skating, Bobby & Caren’s oldest Kasey is doing homework with a friend and the woman on the right is Rosie. 
Addy’s Note: Rosie isn’t an Elder, she just looks older due to the dark lighting in the building. She still has her lighter shade of hair color. Perhaps her mature look is due to her penchant for older men. Oh! Getting distracted… I just happened to notice the guy from the Polar Bear Club on the ice. LOL
Oh, hey wait a second! Where is their youngest daughter?
Poor little Kyra. 
Rosie’s ex-husband, Terrell, is looking a little tired. 
He isn’t tired. Oh! Oh. Oh 😦 
I think Terrell is at peace now. 
Not the best of dates, but Nate plucks up his courage and takes Kristy outside. They talk about their future. 
Addy’s Note: Brave woman! Still smiling after Nate says that he wants to have 4 kids.
Do you want to build a snowman? 
Not quite the mood Nate was going for. 
New tactic: If a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and we’re equal… 
Oh dear, this could be a mood kill for sure! 
Or not! 
Nate decides to just go with the flow of his fast beating heart 
She said YES! (Not that there was ever any doubt!) 
A good thing too as it turns out.
Goodbye, Chipmunk Charlie. 
And Hello, baby!

Have I Got A Story for YOU! 
That is one shiny rock, and a little creepy proposing in front of the ghosts.
Yes, the Sims certainly aren’t subtle when it comes to the proposal and the shiny rock in a box. The ring that you can add to their finger doesn’t shine nearly as much, but it is the thought that counts, right?! 😉
I seem to recall having another proposal happening with a ghostly witness. I like to think that departed family members are looking on and smiling their acceptance of the new family member.
How fun it all was! The chipmunk died, but we got the baby 🙂
We can’t always control timing or what happens but all events, good & bad, shape the memory quilts of lives and I imagine each Snyder carries a patchworked one made up of wonderful fabrics and carefully, lovingly stitched designs.
