Presents and Promises and Lots of Cake (Part II)

Then it was Weezy’s turn. Mom had to hold her, of course, since she can’t exactly stand at the table.

Mom helped Weezy blow out the candles, then tossed her up into the air for her birthday whirl. I swear her head missed the ceiling by an inch.

When she came back down…she had HAIR! Tons of it. Nice, thick black hair, like Rico’s. (Please don’t tell Rico I said he had nice hair.)

I rushed over to give Weezy a big birthday squeeze. She smiled up at me, and I just know she was thinking, “Fran! You’re the one who sang to me that one time. And you’ve never left me on the floor. I love you, Fran.”

Too bad I was a shmuck and didn’t get her a present. Sigh. Tomorrow, Weezy! Tomorrow, I shop for you.

I love having a little sister.

After all of that excitement, it was time for presents! Bernie opened mine first. Wheee.

I think he liked it.

“Fran,” he said, “We GOTTA set up an obstacle course so we can be Gnome Nabbers. This is gonna ROCK. I wish I didn’t have school tomorrow.”

“Who needs an obstacle course?” said Rico. “We can use all of Riverblossom. I’ll hide the gnome for you, Bernie.”

Franchesca Diaries

“Gah!” I said, “Don’t let him touch it. He’ll do something evil with it.”

To illustrate my point, Rico laughed evilly. Grrr. He’d better not hurt that gnome!

The same goes for Taz. He looked like he wanted to maul it.

  1. This update was awesome, I love little Weezy in that hair, and Bernie is awesome as a teen! I can’t believe Rico is gonna be an adult so soon!

  2. Aww, Weezie’s cute. I loooove her PJs and hair. But what I’m really interested in is what Franchesca’s boss was thinking….

  3. I am finally caught up with Fran! Just in time for birthdays, awww. Apparently cats aren’t too fond of gnomes. ;)

  4. Yeah an update! Oh my gosh Weezy is so adorable and that picture of her huging Fran made me go awww. And Bernie is nice looking to but he needs a make over. I think her dad is insane but he makes the story interesting. Well keep simming!

  5. Another great update, Jen! I love this family. I’m very curious to see what kind of “duties” Fran’s boss has for her. Weezy is adorable! And Bernie didn’t do to bad either. Loved the picture of him in his hat, lol. Look forward to the next update!

  6. Yikes! Bernie turned into David Spade from The Emperor’s New Groove.

    Still, good stuff. But I can’t believe Fran doesn’t know what vintage-style is, with her ubernerd genes.

  7. Good gravy Weezy is just made of cute! Huge dark eyes, super sweet smile, cute round nose — she’ll be a heartbreaker when she grows up for sure. :D
    I’m glad Fran’s gonna stick with the vintage theme. I vote for goin’ Little House on the Prairie style with some nice calico! :D I bet the boss won’t see that coming.

    I have to say, I’d almost forgotten that this is all taking place in Riverblossom. I’m so amused at the thought of Fran’s dad going to party with the Roths. By himself. On two of his kids’ birthday! Oy vey.
    PS: Sunbury is ticking along! I’m finally all but done with the commercial lots and have been chewing on the actual residential ones for a bit. I’m going to make some new eyes for that particular hood only, though, inspired by how you had individual sets for almost each of yours. :D

  8. Awwww! Weezy is sooo cute and Bernie actually look quite handsome too! I love how the pic where weezy is biting the bear’s ear!

  9. Hi. Weezy is so cute!. and Bernie doesn’t look that bad as a teen. The part where Fran was saying that Bernie now is at eye level with her reminded me of when my younger brother started to catch up to me in height. I still like to remind him that he’s still the baby in the family eventhough he’s the second tallest after my dad.

    Speaking of dads what kind of father would think a party is more important then his kids birthdays!.

    Keep Simming!.

    See ya.

  10. The Ambassador is tres strange. But she is right. Vintage suits Fran. Weezy is too cute! And Bernie in his hat, rotfl!

  11. I was so happy to see an update! Wheezy is adorable. (I actually forget her real name, whoops!) Dad is losing some major points. I love this family, and I love these stories!

  12. Yay! An update! The Ambassador lady is very suspicious…How does that work in-game by the way? Does Fran have a high relationship with someone in the house and she hangs out there for while? Weezy is an adorable toddler and Bernie is not too shabby either :D How could the dad miss out on his own kids’ birthdays by choice? ::Shakes head:: Thanks for the comment by the way. :) I hope to continue updating sooner. I seem to have gained some new motivation, so I must take advantage of it!

  13. Sorry I know I already left you a comment but since then I have thought of a question I wanted to ask. Where is Fran’s hair from, I love it and would like to get it?

  14. *swoons and Jen’s pictures*

    One wonders what Ms. Ambassador has planned for our dear Fran. what’s with the sudden about-face? What’s with giving her simoleons and telling her to buy a swimsuit? It’s all very mysterious.

    And I loved the birthday party. Hehe. I love how you describe the transition from child to teen. And then his reactoin to the gnome. That was priceless. *LOL*

    And Weezy is adorable. And she’s got HAIR! And I’m ashamed of Fran for not getting her a birthday present? WTF? I thought she was the only one who really cared for her sister, and yet she doesn’t get her a gift. She had her lil’ brother’s gift for AGES! And no gift for Weezy. *is disappointed*

    ;O))

    Great storytelling, Jen.

  15. I can’t believe Weezy and Bernie are growing up *sniff* Bernie is one handsome little dude – and Weezy is adorable… I agree about Rico being cheap on the gift… LOL. And what a confusing and interesting turn of events at Fran’s job…. I wonder what that’s all about. Talk about mixed signals! Hmmmm…. She should definitely buy a bathing suit. No skinny dipping! It could be bad for her political career. *turns on LLama Mama tunes* Rock on Fran!
