Bernie opened Rico’s present next. It was a boat from the toybox upstairs.
“Um,†I said, “he’s a teenager now, Rico. What’s he going to do with a toy boat?â€
“It’s a souvenir from his childhood,†Rico explained. “I polished it up and everything. Weezy will get the toybox now, and who knows what she’ll do with those things. Probably eat them.â€
Nice save, Rico. He probably WILL make a good politician someday. *shudder*
“It’s great, Rico,†said Bernie. “This was always my favorite toy. Thanks.â€
Aww, Bernie’s so sweet, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I think Rico was just being a cheapskate.
Next was Elvis’s present: a new winter hat. Bernie modeled it for us. Work it, boy!
As for Mom and Dad, they said they’d pay for Bernie’s martial arts lessons. He’ll be beating the tar out of Rico in no time. I can’t wait! (I’m a non-violent person, really, I am…)
Then little Weezy opened her first present: a teddy bear from Elvis. In honor of his tie-dyed shirt, we dubbed him Dr. Psychedelic.
(I think I saw Rico glaring at her in envy at one point. He’s a total closet teddy-bear-lover. Bahaha.)
I also think Rico was right about what Weezy would do to the toys in the toybox, because she found Dr. Psychedelic’s ear rather tasty.
Rico and Bernie both gave Weezy some Simoleons for her piggy bank (not that she has one yet, but you know). And I’m a shmuck sister who hasn’t gotten her a present yet.
The best present of all was from Mom and Dad: a new CRIB! No more barrel for you, Weezy! Wooot, UPGRADE!
She got new pajamas, too. I’m pretty sure Dad picked them out.
I guess Rico has a birthday in a couple days, too. What on earth am I going to get him? A clue? A Myshuno game? A picture of Alicia Pfefferle in a frame? Mwahaha.
And as I write this, Dad is STILL over at the Roths’ house. I wonder if he wore that hideous sweater. I’m surprised they even let him in the house.
I’m so mean. I’m having Joel withdrawal. I’d better go listen to some Llama Mama and lighten up.
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!
Aww, Weezie’s cute. I loooove her PJs and hair. But what I’m really interested in is what Franchesca’s boss was thinking….
fantastic update! really enjoyable read :)
I am finally caught up with Fran! Just in time for birthdays, awww. Apparently cats aren’t too fond of gnomes. ;)
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!
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
The Ambassador is tres strange. But she is right. Vintage suits Fran. Weezy is too cute! And Bernie in his hat, rotfl!
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!
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!
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?
4 words- WEEZY IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay for birthdays! I loved the party and the Disco King of Riverblossom Hills!
*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.
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!
