Speed Simself - Update 1.5

Why do I keep doing this to myself?! During labor I swore this would be my last child, I'm getting too old for this. I think Tamsin might have sworn off kids altogether once she saw how painful it was!

All the pain is worth it though once you see your sweet child. We decided to name her Ceilidh. She hates the outdoors like her father and I and is a virtuoso like Liam.

Soon prom was upon us. Nikolas showed up and asked Tamsin on her very first date. From what I understand they decided to make their relationship official while at the dance. 

 They all had a great time, even if there were a few fights, and I love looking at these photos while at the computer. Cassandra was voted Prom Queen and Erik Prom King.

 

We even got one of all the kids together before they left the school.

For Christmas we invited all the kids closest friends. Our house isn't that big so it was a tight fit but I wouldn't have it any other way. For the most part they loved their gifts. They got a new gaming console, another guitar, some new books, a few paintings, and a plastic pink flamingo that Erik just had to have.

Christmas didn't just mean gifts, it also brought new romances. Cassandra had been crushing on Ryan for a while but he finally made a move!

I'm not sure hanging the mistletoe was a good idea. Savannah was quite surprised by Roran's advances.

She may have been shocked but she didn't run screaming from the house, so I guess that's a good thing?

I always tell the kids not to wander around outside when there's a full moon, you never know what's going to happen! Thankfully Cassi is lucky and was able to blend in with the zombies rather than be attacked. 

Ceilidh's birthday was coming up soon. Josh doesn't always show it, but I know he'll miss this stage. It's hard to see your kids grow up.

Turns out she has his hair but my eyes. I love looking at our children and seeing little parts of ourselves.

We started working on her skills right away. She took to talking quickly but struggled a bit with walking.

Soon it was time for more birthdays. I can't believe they grow up so fast!

I love seeing how excited their friend is in the background of this picture! For some reason I can't remember her name, but she's come over a few times. You can see Tamsin is too distracted by Nikolas to pay much attention to her sister's birthday.

Poor Liam tried to make a move on this girl from school, but she just wasn't having it. I overheard from the other kids that she already had a boyfriend.

Tamsin didn't want a big party for her birthday, just family, but Erik and Liam each brought a girl home from school any way.

Tamsin is so confident now that she's a young adult, you can tell she's gotten more charismatic.

Both Erik and Liam tried to get with these girls in between Tamsin's birthday and Erik's, but as far as I know neither of them are very serious. They just don't have as much luck as their siblings when it comes to romance.

Erik might not be as charismatic as his twin, but he is turning out to be quite the schmoozer! I thought his weird clothing choices were just a fad, but it appears not. Are those tights?!
