*cough* I got a little upset... *cough*
Persistent pain in my right shoulder from baking (on top of the usual general chronic joint pains) and ravaging hormones can make it a challenge to always maintain a perfectly level head. *breaks down and acknowledges that she is only human*
I'm overall doing a lot better now, though, but my shoulder keeps giving me grief.
Reposting...and sorry for the confusion

Holly and Hazel with a proper Monte Vista look.

The bakery I installed in the local café. I'm not too keen on the way it works. Seems the cashier is completely superfluous, as customers simply go to an item and purchase it directly from the shelf.

Hazel threw a small party on a Thursday in the afternoon. Honorable guests were mom and little brother.

Holly was watching Hazel and Dino play ball from the swings. She seems very happy.

A weekend family outing to the beach. It was nice and I took the opportunity to upgrade the place.

There was room for a little amore, of course.

Misty went for several rolls in the sand. Not sure what Dino is thinking here.
Note: Since these pictures were taken, a lot has happened. Hazel is now a young adult and Dino is a teen. Holly was aged up to adult in order to avoid things getting weird. Gino remains the same age - he is eleven days into his adulthood. The pets also remain at the same age.
Pictures of their current state will be in the next update.
